Let's cut to the chase. Everybody's gnawing all over this bone and generating lots of heat but not much illumination.
It's real simple, folks: forget all the other kinds of email venues - in a listserv environment, with multiposter threads, the only logical way to read these connected messages is IN THE ORDER THEY WERE WRITTEN! Backwards, chronologically, doesn't cut it. Of course, for this to work optimally, the responder has to accept the responsibility to do a little editing work to pare down the backquote to its essentials. Duh! So top-post in your business query/answer situations if that floats yer boat - but snip and *bottom* post on a listserv. Please!
