.. Your post crossed with mine saying much the same thing.

know blind users have special needs, but I far prefer bottom posting.
If it is a long post then use your keys to go to the end and then up a
bit to get the newest bit.

Interleaving, which is probably the best idea for sighted users in
some cases, does make things difficult, but otherwise standard usenet
standards are fine.

.. Why does interleaving make things difficult - is it that it becomes
hard to see who said what? Surely that is more a question of whether the
posting software puts in the quoting characters, and the access software
indicates their existence. I can see that if either of those isn't
correct, there could be confusion. Maybe ideally different voices could
be used, though I'm not aware whether any of the speech-based access
methods offer such an option, and it could be amusing if the same
person's text changes voice in subsequent posts because of the depth of
quoting characters!
