Wouldn't it in fact be easier if everybody > top-posted replies that don't require a lot of context to make sense? If they don't require a lot of context, why include an entire message to set the context? Wouldn't be nothing but a bandwidth-hog. A summary of the central thought of the message between [] (or just a quote of the central thought, if the original poster was so kind to include it somewhere in his text) would suffice, in such cases.
