There's absolutely no need for it at all. If a reply is posted to a
newsgroup or mailing list, said 'reference' is for *ALL* to see, not
particularly one person. If one person wants to only see a top-posted
'reference', he can ask to have it sent to his/her private e-mail. There's no
need to make people who read normally...from top to bottom of a page...to be
hindered with abnormal postings.
