I joined the CoV list for about a week, and seeing all of that confused the
hell out of me. Reading over it, I can see how it could be very useful in
increading readability. On the other hand, it seems a waste of effort to
have to completely manually reformat all email - if someone designed a mail
program that did this automatically (or could be set to use the >>> system
or the Hermit system) I'd be ecstatic.
Still, the initial confusion of how replies were handled on that list
definitely contributed to my leaving (though not so much as the sheer
volume of mail).
