Hi :) Who chooses which bits to trim? The problem you folks have is that 98% of the world uses top-posting. If you can't cope with top-posting then only 2% of the world can help you with your work. You are actively blocking 98% of people that might be willing to help out.
Your fight against the 98% might have made more sense 30 years ago, maybe even 20 years ago, before top-posting became such a dominant way of life. Nowadays it is too late to have that fight unless you just want to block 98% of people.
