I'm asking for two basic things:

1.  Trim your posts.  Do what makes sense.  If you're one line response 
is relative to a single paragraph of a post, delete the other 54 paragraphs.

2. Be consistent in responding.  If you're responding to an original 
post, then do as you wish.  If you're responding to a follow up, be 
consistent.  If the first guy top posted, then top post...

I simply won't dig around to figure out who's posting what to multiple 
responses if it get's confusing.

For what it's worth, do what you damn well please, but if it's difficult 
for me to figure out the post, you won't get a response from me.  YMMV, 
I'm sure there are folks out there who will be very happy with that.
