It can also be argued that just because you're posting above all that,
doesn't mean you don't still have a responsibility to snip. Leave enough
for context, of course, but if you're just going to agree, you don't need
the whole thing, regardless of whether it's top or bottom.
When I post, I snip out the stuff I'm not addressing, because either way,
nobody wants to scroll through it. Don't forget, there're still people
out there who page through usenet, and have to scroll through everything a
top-poster leaves on just to get to the next post, not even to a 'me too'
in the post they're currently reading.
Tops, bottoms, and swinging both ways. We better watch it or this will
become *very* off-topic
