I see no reason, when responding to several in one thread on one day,
to create multiple posts. If you think creating multiple posts on one
subject in one day is preferable, please explain why.

Because it makes it clearer which part of a thread you're responding to,
and if you're using a threaded newsreader, enables you to see who is
responding to what you wrote- which is useful assuming that you don't
always have the time or inclination to read every post.

I concur.

I add that it is often the most convenient way to compose posts, which
is why I might make a number of contributions to the one thread in the
same day. I am grateful to David for giving me such a clear rationale
for my behaviour.
