This is where some common sense has to prevail.

It does very often make a great deal of sense, where there are many
questions being asked, to reply below each question.

However, it is good netiquette to tell readers you are doing this at
the start.

I aghtree with  Steve's  views below.
 
Now you see the  problem,  what are  Steve's views!

Anyone that wants to  know has to read on!

I feel that   quoting text,  should be allowed,  but only  if
It's not  over  done.

Regards,  Derek

Hi,

 

The problem as I see it though in not allowing comments within a post
is that sometimes someone can have seven or eight questions, and it
could be easier to read the answers in context.  Just my opinion.

 

What I don't like though is where someone posts their whole reply at
the botoom of the message.  I see nothing wrong though in
incorporating into a reply only where it is lengthy and asks many
questions.

 

All tyhe best

 

Steve

Hi, don't worry about it. You don't do it. It's when instead of
writing the reply text at the top of the edit field the text is either
incorporated in with the text of the post being replied to or below
it. For anyone using a screenreader it means they've got to search for
where the reply text is.

                    John.

        Sorry I don't know what "top posting" means, and I can't find
it anywhere!
