Yes Laura, my very point! Since some do it at the bottom as noted, it is a pain to read all the way down. The bottom is only for first time readers. It also depends on how someone receives there mail and reads first to last or last to first, if organized by date, or date and subject.

New people to the discussion will, of course suffer, but people who have been following the discussion will immediately know when they can go on to the next message, and not read reams of gorp they already know and have already seen 5 times looking to see if there is 'anything new' there. It saves a _ton_ of time.
