I think there's a natural analog to newest on top that makes quoting on top feel odd. The schema for discovering old things is to go down -- any excavation, you find the newest artifacts on top, generally, and older the lower you go. That pile of letters on the kitchen table, newest on top. Grids, pencil sketches, original painting decisions are all underneath the newest layer of paint in a painting. I ramble, but, the thought that someone could or should summarize a 30 email conversation, and rewrite that summary each time a new email is sent, is just silly to me.
