I think you have cut out the relevant information, the op was saying that if you read through a series of emails and you have to scroll down to the bottom of the email because it is bottom or inline posting. To me if you have read the last 30 emails and they were all top post you have the history and you only had to read the top bit not search through the email looking for the answers. Remembering that you have just read the last email before this one and thus have all the relevant information. This is completely different when access a thread from archive.
