Very common, albeit usually technically illegal, in the US mortgage brokering business. Often used to create a generic release of private information form, which the broker then uses to shop around for the cheapest actual loan, maximising his profit while hiding it from the customer. A strange but predictable consequence of truth-in-lending legislation.
As someone else pointed out, top-posting is the norm on oracle-l. In consequence, I find it difficult to read as a digest.
On usenet, it seems to be correlated with the "MS-ness" of newsgroups.
