Re: [libreoffice-users] OT Top/Bottom posting

Except that, as stated earlier you often know the past history of many emails 
just form the subject-line so many people don't need nor want to see all that 
history all over again but might occasionally want to double-check something on 
a rare occasion.

The point is that we need to be able to cope with variety if we are going to 
helpful and friendly towards people that are not already in the tiny percentage 
of office workers using LO.

Instead, I have to page down, and read the entire post, to try to figure
out what you are responding to, and get the context of that reply.

So instead of zipping thru twenty emails per minute, I only go through
two or three emails per minute.

Actually, I do make that claim.
Intermixed quotes are the proper way to do things, because that is the
only format in which the context the reply being made can be readily
ascertained.
