You assume that everybody who reads it has already read all the previous
discussion. That may be true in a private discussion, but on Usenet
often people scan over the postings and don't recall all the details.
Even for two-person, private email discussions I prefer the interleaved
replies -- in a week when I have to remind myself what was discussed it
is much easier to comprehend.
Also, "intermixed posting" makes it easier to reply to several points
individually. You should shorten the quote to the releveant bit that
your reply belongs to.
Yes. It is extremely annoying when someone top posts and leaves the
entire rest of the discussion still attached at the bottom.
