I disagree with you John. It was quite clear that Betsie was replying

You're quite entitled you your opinion, but the fact remains that it did
take me a while to work out what Betsie was talking about.


I hope we're not going to get into the whole top-posting vs
bottom-posting vs inter-posting debate on here as well.

_Those_ terms speak of a religious debate, and for that reason I try to
avoid them. Besides, "bottom posting" as it's usually defined is not
really the opposite of "top posting." It's more between two extremes,
the middle course.

I didn't have a clear position on the matter until I sought information
and a quote for a computer system. Had the salesperson followed my
suggestion and followed _this_ procedure, he'd have addressed all my
points and probably got the sale.

He didn't, he missed some important points and I bought elsewhere. And
at that time I understood the reason for interleaving one's reply and
took my side. Previously, I'd been doing it anyway, but only because it
suited me to do that.
