so the fashion of replying depends on the circumstance. Not on some hard
and fast rule that bottom posting is a requirement. E.g., if I were to
merely post "okay" as an assent to something being replied to, then it
makes more sense and is more efficient to insert that right at the top.

OTOH, interleaved is better here
