Sure it's great to have a complete conversation, chronologically sorted top
to bottom, but if the conversation was long, or the reply just as long, or
the topic too complex to edit down to a smaller quoted chunk,


Part of posting is to do that editing.

Your argument is essentially that you want to put your stuff in the
wrong position because you can't be bothered to do the editing. In
other words, your time is more important than that of thousands of
readers. I don't think so.

And it's not like the editing is that hard to do.
