ALWAYS trim posts. That's the polite thing to do.
It takes an extra 10 seconds to do this.
100,000 readers deserve 10 seconds of effort, right?


Your reply is a perfect example of how a posting should be formatted. The
purpose of a quotation is to allow a point of reference to previously written
material; it is not supposed to be an archive of an entire conversation. Bottom
posting allows for a more normal flow of conversation, but it's only effective
when folks take the trouble to trim the quotation down to a paragraph or two.
Nobody wants to scroll down through reams of material for a one line reply.

Top posting makes the flow awkward and usually the top poster doesn't bother
trimming any of his quotation either. A pox on his house!

Anyway, you get a gold star for doing it the way it should be done.
