The list guidelines ask folks to use "bottom, interleaved
posting." and to "not over-quote by the hierarchy level in
the correspondence."
It's a shame that many popular email clients make this
require more effort than necessary and that many users come
from work/school environments which encourage top-posting,
over-quoting, HTML mail, etc.
Overall, I'd say the list members here do a reasonable job
and many of the list regulars give helpful, friendly nudges
to new members.
