Yes, but it is a not a feature using digests and answering with a one
liner, citing the complete thread underneath! While top posting seems
to be a much used no-no in the lists anyway, as you may have noticed
as well :(
Especially in such crowded lists and threads we should use the proper
way with mails, I may say (no top posting, no citing other than what
you referring to, etc.). But I remember someone else writing that
already in this list at the beginning...
