And a good job of trimming the post too!
I wonder, does top-posting promote sequential reading of the argument?

Trimming is a sensible thing to do, whichever way you post. It's work for
the poster, not the reader, and top-posting is a benefit for the reader,
not (primarily) the poster.

I really hope you don't mean that trimming is a waste of time. Ever see
a reply to a digest message that quoted the whole digest. What fun.
But doesn't trimming undermine the argument? How can the discussion be
read sequentially when bits of it have been deleted?
