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.

No it is good practice, makes posts more readable, I don’t trim enough

 I'd argue that it's not a good practice when it's done specifically
not to have to reply to, or to take out of context, something in the
original post,

which is so often the case with Krygowski's snippage.
