Andrew, you've certainly been here long enough to understand the ancient 
Usenet recommendation to trim content except what one's responding to.

I notice that practice has faded. We have posts that roll on for screen 
after screen after screen, six or seven responses deep. But trimming is 
still a good idea. As always, a person can scroll upward to see what was 
posted. Usenet doesn't forget.
