Andrew, you've certainly been here long enough to understand the ancient

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.

Snipping works well for people who don't have the backbone to reply to
all that the original poster said.
