Can I summarise what I think I've taken from this?
1. Top vs. bottom vs. in-line seems to be a matter of different personal
preference - often passionately held.
It seems to me that a universal consensus on this is unlikely to be achievable.
2. An almost universally shared position seems to be that it is bad
etiquette to waste readers' time; by no matter what means, posters should
minimise how long it takes to 'cut to the chase'.
I don't think it would be hard to agree on that being the underlying aim.
And IMHO, if we succeed with point 2, point 1 probably doesn't matter too much.
