Precisely (e.g., see above)! Indeed, my sense is that top-posting *discourages* properly trimming email and that's my main reason against it. If things were properly trimmed, the email would be short enough that it really doesn't matter that much if the new material is on the top or bottom, but people who top-post and don't trim create really hard-to-follow emails. Good point. I've found myself having to "edit and trim" replies to poorly constructed conversations in the past because we got to the N'th iteration using either or both formats. In this "properly trimmed" example, there's no record of who said what. I like top posting--with trimming that removes no value and a resultant message that has the entire history so I can delete the older messages.
