I can see that you are not interesed in reading the post on mailing strategies, and you havn't really got the hang of need for interleaving references. If you couldn't find a relevant place _below_ the message, it sure means that you should have started a _new_ message and not follow the original. Here are alternatives of writing that same question:
Sorry boss, the mail on mailing stretegies has come much later than the one I replied to. After reading the stretegy mail, I understand how it may make sense and why it bothers some people. Somehow, the previous discussions on the same subject failed to convey much. If I had got (and therefore read) the "strategy" message before I replied to the previous mail, I would not have made an issue of this since I would understand why you want middle posted (or should I say interleaved posted).
Personally, I still prefer top posted and find it a pain to read interleaved mail. I noticed that some others also have missed parts of a conversation thread because the did not read the full length of the interleaved message.
However, since I now understand why some people want it that way, I will move to that practice.
However, your response and tone of it was (to me atleast), not acceptable. I think you need to bare that in mind. I am putting this mail off list since I think the thread should end here.
Do consider http://www.google.com/search?q=cross+posting
Did look at google for that query after your mail. Unfortunately I find google very confusing in most cases. Got a fair idea of what this cross posting is, but may be you can educate me a little more when we meet on the 8th Dec.
