And it is a lot easier to follow the different parts of discussion. If you top post, you have to explicitly add a reference to each part of the original post you want to comment. Writing "inline" like I am doing now is IMO a lot better. > Another thing I see is that many of those who top-post simply keep > adding onto a post rather than trimming it down to the part they wish to > comment about.

It's also a big waste of bandwitdh and storage space to send the same thing back and forth several times. I really think that is the biggest problem. I read the digest version and it is not easy to read when you have to scroll through 3-4 pages of old quotes before getting to the next new message. /Peter
