Perhaps, when people are too lazy to trim.  But notice how I trimmed
everything except the minimum necessary to understand the reason for
reply.

A whole post, unless it's very short, should never be quoted in its
entirety.  But the ignorant and lazy, often do.

Untrimmed quotes make me FEEL LIKE SHOUTING!
