Usenet over UUCP via 300 baud modems on backbone servers with 5MB disks.[1]
I adverse top-posting (and entire quoting of the whole replied message, or worst, thread) NOT because it is wasting bandwidth, NOT because it is wasting diskspace when archived ... but because it is disturbing to me to archive in each new message the entire content I already archived in the previous ones of the same thread.
Of course assuming we are talking of a serious correspondence worth being archived, not a chat.
