Even relatively undisciplined correspondents don't make that kind of mess. And my _top_ posting might just clarify for anyone who's joining this way-OT-aside what we're discussing. _Insisting_ on bottom posting is, in my view, silly. We should trust each other to be clear. But it's this list's policy, and so I comply (but for now). More often than not, in my experience, which evidently differs from yours, top posting works. Let's not pursue this further, but agree to differ, as differ you do, and as does this list.
