How exactly does it reduce the clutter? In my experience top-posters
*never* trim the quotes, so they just grow exponentially. Just because
you don't have to scroll past them doesn't mean they aren't taking up
space and bandwidth.

Protests about top-posting are usually accompanied by exhortations to
trim quotes to what is relevant.
