But wading through history in this mailing list is not necessarily
easy (this is _not_ a newsgroup, I spent several years reading
newsgroups, and inline posting was very much the accepted norm there
too)
Also, top-posting limits you to only addressing one point at a time,
it can be difficult to see what earlier point the reply is referring
to.

But this is probably one of those things that is never going to reach
a proper consensus, and is off-topic too.
