I see nothing "neat" about it, the results would be a bunch of
tomatoes cut every which way... and I can assure you the riper ones
would get squished. I grow lots of cherry tomatoes and I like to
quarter them through the stem end, takes very little time with a sharp
paring knife... I also often pare out the stem core.

Obviously some folks here need lessons in reading comprehension, but
first they need to acquire some common sense, and ethics... to me when
reading the full post prior to that portion being smarmily edited out
of context it was clear that the dishes would need washing AFTER
slicing the tomatoes.
