Only in the minimal form. I go for interspersed as well, but I call it
bottom posting because at least it conveys the interspersal order:-(
Editing the quoted stuff for relevance is such a basic level of courtesy
that it should got without saying. However I know from bitter daily
experience that this is not so for others.
