...which is kind of strange. I typically see snipping and bottom-posting on Usenet and in most e-mail lists, but at every corporate job I've worked (and I worked quite a few as a temp), you never snip anything from an email and you always reply at the top.
Yep, I've noticed the same thing. People familiar with Usenet and email
lists are generally quite sophisticated about snipping, keeping the attributions
straight, and replying in-line, but most other people, even tech-savvy ones,
are usually content to just stick a reply on top, and leave a chain of replies
below it. This used to bug me a lot, since it makes communications less clear
of what exactly they are replying to, but I've given up on worrying about it.
