Email was designed for one way communications. Yes, you can use it in a
kind of conversation mode, but it is only workable if a basic set of
rules is adhered to - which is why email lists generally have such
rules. On this list, the general rule is bottom-post and trim the crap.

Well said.
Now if we could just convince the heretics so that we wouldn't have the
inconvenience, let alone the air pollution, of having to burn them at
the stake :-)

E-mail was designed for conversations. The clue is in the name: "mail".
Like letters written with quill pens; two people conversing at a distance.
e-mail *lists* came much later. One way commmunications were called, also
appropriately, "bulletin boards" and/or "news" groups.
