PS Is top posting or bottom posting the custom here?
The style I use, inserting comments, is normal on all technical

Why do you top post, if you first ask, then get the reply that the
other is
normal on technical lists?
Because the style "inserting comments" does not seem to prescribe
either top-posting or bottom-posting when one doesn't wish to respond
to any particular comment?
In technical discussions one usually wants the interlacing, so that
the details can be followed, truncating all that is not relevant for
the comments, but leaving enough that the readership do not have to
backtrack.
In addition, on GNU lists, it is favored to keep the cc, as not
everyone may be on the list.
