Perhaps a straw man... sometimes there really is a conversation that is
long enough with relevant information that can make it long. I agree with
your "rude" assessment.

I am old enough to remember when all replies were placed "below" in email,
and I remember struggling through the changes when changes were made so
that replies went out on top, but now replies "above" the text seems to be
more common.

For this list, I personally don't care which way it is done, as long as we
have a standard so that we can encourage uniformity. I find it difficult to
read entries here that have both "above" and "below" replies mixed.

For now, I'm trying to follow the lead of the post; if it's below, I post
below; if it's above, I post above.
