Reported conversations, however, are always documented in the order that they occur (view any novel containing dialogue, for example). A private conversation between two individuals is one thing - each contributor knows what the other has already said - but conversations designed to be read by others (as on mailing lists) need to follow the reporting convention if you are to avoid the huge inconvenience of having to read from the bottom to the top. And do we really have to go through this whole pointless argument all over again? Nobody ever changes their own point of view.
