It's not about rules, it's about effective communication, interleaved posting and minimal quoting works better for this purpose in mailing list and similar environments where the complete context is available to all - however in corporate and other email chain like environments full quoting is the only way to make context available and top posting is most common. > The only thing people on this list would lose is the rare and occasional > time I help someone.
