Yeah this is my strategy. The top/bottom post brigade are both happy and email clients seem to handle it well.

It's kind of alarming to me that the default in say gmail is to constantly re-send the original message chain back and forth. I guess it then gives the whole chain to newcomers to the thread?

Yeah and it prevents issues if the subject line changes in an unexpected way that confuses the email client, or issues where an email chain goes on for a long period of time but retention policies delete old emails. Etc…
