Unless I completely misunderstand what you mean by the term,
"interspersed posting" /is/ bottom-posting; there is no distinction. If
there were no need to intersperse quotes with responses, there'd be
little reason at all to bottom-post, and nobody would care enough at any
rate to correct people who top-posted.
By corollary, I guess, no one "intersperses" while top posting....
