It is normal on this list not to top post, but rather to add comments at the

I'd rather say interspersed comments with the TRIMMED text body is the
appropiate thing to do. Bottom posting ( edited ) being a particular
case of that when only a single topic/question is being answered.
Full quoting ( I mean the people which even quotes others signatures )
is especially ugly, combined with top posting I feel it as insulting (
to me it feels as 'you do not deserve me taking time to edit a bit and
make things clear' ) ( but well, I started when all the university
multiplexed over a 9600bps link, so I may be a bit extreme on this )

Yes I should have mentioned trimming - but in my defence, I did using
trimming in my reply!
I started using the internet when I had a 2400 bps modem, in 1990.
I introduced the use of "[...]" to replace the then common "[ omitted ]"
which was being used in usenet - my very small part in Internet history.
Cheers,
Gavin
