Top posting worked just fine in that context due to the reply not 
addressing any part of the post in particular.

Also, he replied to the individual email thus keeping the subject line 
just as it should be. It is yourself that has replied incorrectly. The 
part that you quote isn't even in the email that Andrew replied to, and 
is only present in the digest version that you subscribe to.

I would suggest looking at the archives at 
http://mailman.lug.org.uk/pipermail/scottish/2008-April/thread.html to 
see how message threading is seen by those that subscribe to individual 
messages.
