I would only add that if EVERYBODY bottom-posted on a particular forum 
and ALWAYS snipped unnecessary prior posts...then I would do the 
same...just out of courtesy for established protocol.

Just as I have my own coding conventions which I use for my own code, 
yet if I'm editing another owner's source I will follow their 
established conventions...just to not break continuity...and of course 
not to be a jerk.
