I completely agree.  Even top posters don't have any exuse for not trimming
the irrelevant parts of the replied-to message.  That's just plain common
sense.  Not doing that is just plain lazy.

I would love to see the list server reject messages that end with one of the
footers the list server automatically adds.  Since those should always be
trimmed, it would be a great way to detect completely untrimmed posts.  At
least that would be a start.  I imagine that if people were forced to trim
the list server footers, they would probably also trim other stuff at the
bottom that isn't relevant.  At least it would be better than nothing.

However the list server most likely has no such option.  I wonder if James
would use it if it did?
