No problems, thankyou, I was just curious because the other thing I forgot to mention is those organisations also had the "standard" that if your reply was not top posted your reply would not be read.
I'll add that
a) most companies are stupid and
b) most companies probably started with Microsoft mail tools
that (incorrectly) automatically put the cursor at the top of the 'copied'
email rather than at the bottom where it belonged.
That started 'those' people on the path of top posting
rather than interspersing their specific replies to each specific
topic item thereby turning it into a 'natural' conversion that maintains context.
IMHO the only time a top post should be allowed is when the original
email ONLY has one question/topic/item in it. (After the response has been
sent, that rule no longer applies because the email now has at least two
items to comment on.)
So what you call a "standard" was a result of original laziness
that HR subsequently turned into a bad policy!
