sorry to annoy you but in line comments are probably the most targeted
and direct way to respond

consistency is relative. The issues of trimming, relevancy and making
sense of the flow of the communications seems more important. Most of
the people who top post have no consideration for the the issues of
trimming and relevancy, they only seek to have their own words heard
without context - sort of saying...listen to my thoughts and if you need
the context, read on or look to previous messages in the thread.
