Precisely the opposite. Trimming ensures that context is appropriate. If
you post a one line "me too" in response to a 150 line messsage which
contains ten inputs, how are we supposed to guess where that "me too"
applies?

So, given what you are saying, it applies that we should not have to clean
up after you either (and you may also, by the way, be characterizing
yourself as an idiot) simply because you find trimming too much trouble.

I'd say you walked into that one on your own.
