And what happens with subsequent postings that refer the things in
previous messages, not just the most adjacent? Do I post here

Or down here? Although originally the conversation may be short enough
not to cause too much confusion, but later down the road...

And how much is okay to top post > 20 words, 50 words, 100 words?
Depending on *your* viewport how much can be displayed without scrolling
can differ. Since most individuals digest conversations basically
linearly from start to finish (at least the one that tend to keep their
facts straight) and all cultures of the world read from top to bottom
(left and right is another issue) would it not make sense to be
consistent? Eh?
