I already tended to let this rule out because there where some people
thinking it's not necessary.

But this example is enough. Even worse - in this example you have only
single lines - in areal conversation, you have to go to the very
bottom of a mail, go up until the first mail starts, read until
bottom, got 2 mails up, read until the end of the second mail, and so
on, it's really ugly, and it can be avoided if people at least get
pointed at it...
