I understand that there's purists out there, but seriously, pine? I stopped using that when I had the first SPARC2 sitting on my desk and I can't even remember when that was (1991?). Never liked pine, always used emacs (and still do, just not for reading mail :-) )
Personally I prefer top posts for short responses to a simple issue and in- between posts for everything more complex.
And then, when some people will top post, som bottom post and some will answer inside the original email lines, then there will be a totall mess and most people will have problems to find out how the discussion flow looks like.
