Hello Marek,
I would very strongly object to what you're proposing, on purely practical
grounds. A lot of replies are one-sentence "Great! Couldn't have said it
better" or "Thanks" or "I completely agree" etc. etc. Thanking someone is
very very proper, the other type of replies not really, but both types are
of no substance.
If someone has a one-sentence and insubstantial reply to a long thread then
it takes a few clicks to scroll down to that reply. That might be fine, but
if you're subscribed to a few busy groups it's just plain annoying.
I agree replying on top of the original thread is not very handy too, since
the reader may not necessarily remember what the thread was all about, but
still this is the lesser of two evil IMHO.
I just recently was very busy and didn't have time to read all the mail, for
just a few days. When I finally came around, I had over 900 emails in my in
mailbox... and most of it just this one-sentence-hit-delete stuff. Took me
some time to sort through :-(( This is hardly manageable.
All the best,
Yarroll
