People interleave their conversations because they're easier to follow.

If all conversations ran the same way, then we'd all be together.  I 
often skip down to the bottom of messages to find out what's new, so 
miss short comments at the top of mails or posts.

When everyone top posts, that's different (the only time I've seen this 
on a consistent basis is work email.

I don't use Linux, by the way, and my mail program does the right thing 
without a huge amount of fuss (and if I highlight before replying, only 
the highlighted text is quoted.  I suspect that even stone Mac OS 
programs would also do the right thing.
