Nope, I totally disagree.  There's a certain amount of implication as
to what and whom you're responding to simply by the position of the
postings.   If the poster is generally posting in response to the
original thread, his post is to respond directly below the original
thread, and not under mine.  Posting a direct followup under my 
reply, implys a response header towards me.  And since, he didn't
mention that his post was directed towards everyone,  the clear
implication as to who it was directed to will be the immediate
post above his - which is me.

For ex, I'm responding to you now, and my thread will fall below and
indented after yours.  If I posted this in any other places, it will
be entirely out of sequence.  

Therefore, it's BEST that newbies or whoever learns to correctly 
post messages in usenet.  Usenet is not some grafitti (which was
discussed a long time ago) wall that you just spray on.
