It's usually a short conversation between you and a friend, or you and a business associate, and both of you already know what it's about. The quote below is simply a reminder of what was said, if necessary. List posting is different. Imagine that you have had a problem that created a long thread in a list, but eventually solved the problem for you. Imagine then that someone next month has the same problem and does a google search for the answer. They are quite likely to find a post that is in the middle of the thread. If replies are interspersed (best) or bottom-posted (acceptable) they can read down the whole thing in the order it was written. If some people top-post and others bottom- post it becomes an unreadable mess, so doesn't help the person that needed help. I hope that puts it into context for you.
