It can also be difficult to follow a list with lots of topics going on at once if there isn't any contextual quoting (carefully trimmed) above the response to remind you of what is being replied to. Reading the context *after* the reply is awkwardly backward.
Arguments about top-quoting vs bottom-quoting on a list is almost as bad as mentioning Hitler.
What about digest vs. non-digest? Honestly, I don't see how anyone can continue to use those horrible antiquated things - any message you send invariably starts a new thread because your reply lacks the proper references, which are specified by *multiple* RFCs.
I started off on digest, but after getting around 20 digests about autofellatio in one day, I grew dispirited and went to individual messages.
