Good on you John :)
As a legacy from the dial up days, I still try and trim emails that I reply to, but that last message I neglected to spot. Back in those days it really was poor form not to trim a message you had quoted, similarly if you replied with a one liner, even worse! I'm placing the blame this time on the one-liner who asked the question but didn't trim! I was responding to his message, not thinking he had quoted the whole directory listing underneath :)
Right now I'm on my phone (gasp!) and going below my typing area now and trimming the message is not really quick or feasible.
My word, how times have changed :)
