As a recipient I prefer to get a top quoted reply that is
well-written to a convulated message that is quoting in-line.

Instead of using the dogma 'top quoting is always hideous', I judge a
message on its understandability. I find that, especially in longer
threads, in-line quoting leads to an abundance of subthreads inside
the messages. A top-quoted summary can help to seperate distractions
from the main topic and to refocus the discussion.
