Trimming quotes is a problem, wether it's top or bottom posting. But
with bottom-posting (Or interleaving a reply under its relevant quote)
it's easier to see what's relevant. Only keep what YOU'RE replying to.
If it's not relevant to your message, it gets snipped. And if there is
a LOT of information cut, use a <snip /> to show a lot of information
has been truncated.
