For pure bottom posting you've got a point. On the other hand, my
preference is for in-context posting, or what might be called
incremental bottom posting.  If someone replies to a long message
without trimming and just says something like "me too" then it doesn't
matter if it's top-posted or bottom posted, either way it sucks. Then
problem is that such creatures aren't going to bother to snip either
way.
