  There's absolutely no need for it at all. If a reply is posted to a 
newsgroup or mailing list, said 'reference' is for *ALL* to see, not 
particularly one person. If one person wants to only see a top-posted 
'reference', he can ask to have it sent to his/her private e-mail. There's no 
need to make people who read normally...from top to bottom of a page...to be 
hindered with abnormal postings.
