replying solely to the poster is bad because there is no record for
others, because one's reply may contain errors or omissions that others
can correct and because others cannot reply to one's supplementary quesions.
I didn't have much of a feeling about top posting (or bottom posting)
until a week or so ago and I posed a list of questions to mt mobo supplier.
The reply was top-posted, answered (poorly) one point and ignored the rest.
Had the vendor's employee interleaved his reply, he would have been
reminded to respond to each point and I'd not be looking to buy elsewhere.
