True, but as with everything else, the real-world answer is "it
depends". I rarely top-post, but there are exceptions. I almost always
bottom post and include just the relevant part of the thread to which
I am replying to give some context. If I'm responding to a long email
with several cogent points I may:
1. intersperse my comments, allowing my email client to add the
prefix of ">" to the original text
2. reply to salient points with several email responses
3. ignore the whole thing and move on
Hint: using the standard ("correct") signature delimiter of
--
(that's dash-dash-space on a line by itself)
will allow email clients to truncate messages properly. See below.
