I should have explained. Top-posting is when you put your replies at the top of the message, as opposed to interspersing them through the message. The way you have written this reply is the preferred method for this list. Top-posting won't break the threading from a mail-client's point of view, but someone joining partway through a thread (or reading the archives on the web) has more work to do in figuring out what your reply pertains to... > OK.

I also use separate mailboxes, and I usually at least skim the list of threads.
