I would imagine that interleaved replies or bottom posting will never be
considered offensive on any list. Whereas we all know that top posting
can often be considered offensive, depending on the list.
By the way, bottom posting only really becomes offensive when you fail
to trim as needed.
Surely that is 'top posting' ?
But trimming IS the main complaint with ANY posting. I don't particularly object
TO top posting, but 99% of the time there is NO need to have quoting switched on
at all. I've seen my sig included here several times when any decent client will
respect the 'sig' flag. Perhaps THAT is the default which needs looking at?
OK on smart phones 'select' is a pain in the posterior, but that at least is
probably the best reason for nicely threading email clients. My SMS messages get
threaded - so why not emails as well so that quotes are only needed when
actually addressing key points. Oh for a perfect world :)
