When you say trim quotes, do you mean do what I did in this message:
only using the quote relevant to my post rather than the entire
previous discussion?
Exactly, but while trimming please keep the attribution line. It is
important for assigning a quoted text to its author, thus making it
possible even for the casual reader to follow the discussion easily.
I haven't been using discussion groups as a resource for a long time
and as frequently as one might think, so this question is not sarcastic
in any way.
The FAQ and FAQ Notes of this newsgroup, among other Usenet manuals, provide
further information regarding this subject:

I would also like to suggest you either "Subscribe" to this newsgroup in
Google Groups, allowing you to post under your real name, or to use a
locally installed newsreader application instead to facilitate this, which
would provide even more benefits to you and your readers (GG's Web interface
has a number of nasty bugs and is frequently used by spammers, therefore
subject to user's filter rules). For the latter, I can recommend Mozilla
Thunderbird (which I am using now) or KNode (which I have used before).

You are welcome.
