I agree with that, in that case. Of course, any long-running thread
where every reply is contained in the new replies is just full of people
that should be shot. Trimming is good, whether top-posting or
bottom-posting. It's more critical in bottom-posting, but that doesn't
mean it's unimportant with top-posting.
Basically, my solution to the problem of trimming is to desire more
trimming, and yours is to desire more top-posting.
