Actually trimming is often more important to me than top vs. bottom
posting. There are more than a few times I've canceled a reply
because the OP made it difficult (ie they were too lazy to
trim/bottom post). Very seldom will I reply to the OP if I consider
them to be lazy. I have replied to those who I respect but have been
appeared lazy. Usually they have proven that they are not lazy by
other methods. Lets face it our currency is information and we only
trade it when we some reciprocal value in the trade. The tendency
is that those who are too lazy to spend the time and effort to
offer the common courtesy of a little effort are probably only
here for their own benefit.

I wonder if others feel the same. Of course none of this matters
if I don't have the answers or my opinions hold no value but I
can't be the sole judge of that.
