The inherent problem with trimming is the danger of a message being 
trimmed to the point where the point of the conversation is lost, or the 
meaning of the conversation has changed.

Another problem is when a new viewer comes to the conversation somewhere 
in the middle.  Instead of having *all* of the conversation available to 
view in a single window, the new viewer now has to sort back though all 
the reference messages and try to keep track of which message comes first.

I would rather have them available in one place, rather than scattered 
all over the place.  :-)

FYI, I see no reason to call someone a moron because you don't like the 
way another person replies to a message.  :-)
