So... What's the deal with the post trimming? I personally prefer posts not
trimmed, in general... It helps me to be able flick down and see what the
previous person was replying to.
I remember the old days when it mattered - download speed and crummy mail
clients made trimming important. But that was decades ago, and we don't need
to worry so much about clogging the intertubes now.
Personally, I do the vast majority of emailing from my phone, and accurately
selecting the text to trim is frustrating, difficult, and time-consuming. As
a result of that, I'm honestly likely to continue to flout the etiquette.
Since you're the only person I've personally encountered who strongly
advocates trimming, can you tell me why it affects you so much? Hearing a
real-life counterpoint might make me more likely to take the extra time to
trim my replies. ;-)

A word for Michelle and the quest for perfection. Sometimes in this
life there is a dichotomy between what we wish for and what we can
actually accomplish. Maybe near enough is good enough. Is there
actually such a thing as complete security on the internet? Possibly,
but probably not for the average citizen.
