Certainly, when a user is replying to portions of a quoted text separately (as Russel often does) it is helpful to break up the quoted text into actionable sections and reply below each. However, when a user is simply clicking the "Post Reply" button, chances are, it's going to be easier to read as:
Post 1 Post 2 >> noise Post 3 >> noise Rather than as: Post 1 >>Post 1 Post 2 >> Post 1 >> Post 2 Post 3 >> Post 1 >> Post 2 >> Post 3 Post 4 >> Post 1 >> Post 2 >> Post 3 >> Post 4 Post 5 Also to reiterate, in email digests the latter format results in the reply not even being included in the email. Since this is a mailing list, it's sometimes useful to be able to actually read a digest of it it in your email.
