Interleaving is for people responding point-by-point to a two-thousand-word essay posted to Usenet. If you top-post you're going to have to write more to provide the relevant context to each of your own points. Might as well just interleave your responses, retain the original statements for context, and trim the stuff you're ignoring.

Email evolved and is, as far as I understand it and usually use it, an electronic form of letter writing. If we want to talk about how you forum post (to use the modern model) then the discussion is different.
