This is because someone is receiving mailing list in "digest" chunks
once a day, instead of all emails as they arrive. And they answered
that digest. Nobody is trying to fork the thread,
It is a "feature" of mailing lists.
Yes, but it is a not a feature using digests and answering with a one
liner, citing the complete thread underneath! While top posting seems
to be a much used no-no in the lists anyway, as you may have noticed
as well :(
Especially in such crowded lists and threads we should use the proper
way with mails, I may say (no top posting, no citing other than what
you referring to, etc.). But I remember someone else writing that
already in this list at the beginning...
wobo.
As with most mailing lists/discussion groups, the message re: bottom/top
posting and citing only what is being answered and not all the message,
should be repeated on a regular basis to users. There is a constant flux
of people appearing on the list and some are new to this process. Some
users are not first-language English speakers as well and may have a
problem interpreting these directions.
