a review *is not* a living communication with follow-up replies from 
different people

it's a thread and not a academical review

i don't need the full thread with many KB size in a ton of postings 
because i have the other ones and in case of a complex problem at the 
end of the thread only the open part remians in the quotes

it's also not a business communication where it makes sometimes sense 
take the last mail containing the *whole* communication, print it out 
and throw it into someones face

well, and on most mailing-lists ignorant top-posting with a full quote 
is not welcome, just because people don't handle it correct all day long 
make them not right
