I'll just chime in here on the side of netiquette to say that 'in
olden days' good netiquette required people to trim their posts in
order to make them more legible. threaded discussion was not done 'in
post' but via the email reader (which you can still do today). I
tend to think that trimming posts is still a question of politeness
toward ones readers and i find it quite surprising that people are
arguing against it given their own technologies provide for
accomplishing their own goals of email locally without necessitating
others to do the same.
