No, it's not.  The whole purpose of "don't top post" is to get people to
trim.  If you write one line and include 1000 lines of other people's
posts, it's a bad thing whether you top-posted or not.  There are still
millions of people out there who are paying by the byte or on slow dial-up
connections who really need us to trim.
