It's good to see that the formatting issue is being addressed and my suggestion is as follows...
- Italicise all quoted text from previous contributors.
- Delete any previously posted text that is irrelevant or duplicated.
- Compose all fresh comments with normal text.
- Start with an introductory comment at the top (if required).
Un-quoted top posting without nested levels is certainly quite the pain, I agree. I?ve seen some examples of it here lately.

- Enter fresh comments below the quoted text to which they relate, interspersing them within the quoted text if it helps to improve clarity.
