Actually trimming a quote is fine.
I am not engaging in pointless conversations about rfcs and the like here.

Seriously Brian? I sympathise with your disability but think that it's
going a bit far to choose a method of communication where top-posting
and/or not quoting replied-to text is frowned-upon and then berating
others for not doing just that solely for your benefit.

I have a chronically bad back but if I decided to spend my time tossing
the caber I wouldn't complain because others continued on as they always
did and made life hard for me.

However I might ask them nicely... Not that being nice gets you far on the
internet.
