Personally I prefer top posting and would use it on most 
forums I contribute to. However interweaving has it 
advantages when multiple points need addressed. Since the 
posts on here are usually short and concise then 
inerweaving isn't really called for, imo. 

I think snipping was important in bygone days on the likes 
of distribution lists when bandwidth was a problem. 
Therefore it's not important these days - apart from the 
annoyance factor.
