Not sure I get this bit, wouldn't that be a great argument for
bottom-posting? You suddenly get copied in on a conversation type email
and have to make sense of the flow. Reading  it from top to bottom in
chronological order (like a conversation in a novel) would be easier. With
top-posted back and forth type conversations, you have to go to the
bottom, read, then scroll up, then read down, etc...
