You're not alone :)

I personally hate when the original mail has three questions and the top
poster answers them without any context... it's like: yes, don't know,
tomorrow morning. Whaaat?

I don't try to convince anyone anymore, but I've found that it usually
helps starting your reply with an "answering inline" note.

So basically I answer as I please, not matter if everybody else
top-posts. Nobody has ever complain because the way I reply mail, but if
ever happens... $DEITY helps them!

Regards,

Juan
