I particularly notice lack of trimming in code reviews. Is that what
you had in mind? (There are a few factors there, including people
doing reviews by skipping through the code, and wanting to leave
enough context to make the review understandable.)
(I guess some people might say this message, quoting your whole

Let's not turn this into a general thread about top posting or the
ideal amount of quoting but if you could be a bit more specific that
may help.
