bandwidth.

I am posting "interleaved", second-place welcome to "bottom",
while "top" is "*at least* highly frowned upon" in Usenet. Even when
there is a fair rate of private e-mails being done in "top post manner".

Those who do what is expectable according to the societal norms of
Usenet quickly scroll past the lines of text beginning with quotation
symbols, even at expense of scrolling past and missing earlier ones
lacking quotation symbols.

Bottom posting enables the thread to be read consecutively and always
makes sense.

In the case of Usenet as opposed to some "private e-mail cultures",
I say "amen to amen-at-least-squared"!
