Those who trim and properly intersperse their responses with the item
responded to can be trusted to make up their own mind as to what
context to include.

Bottom posting does require that people try to at least trim the quote

not the context from the beginning of the thread.

Or that it doesn't automatically jump to the bottom when some
moron neglects to trim the quoted material appropriately.

other @#$$&@^%! you've already read just to get to his
"me, too!" comment.
