I get these added every time I hit "reply" on the Google Groups interface as well.

I can't actually seem to find any bug reporting tool for Google anymore, previously they had a "report issue on this page" button or similar in the gear menu.

Anyway...what is an efficient way in Vim to deal with this? The best I came up with, was to record a macro on an extra newline that just did "ddj" and then run that macro with a count of 9999. It seems kludgy though and I'm always afraid I'll trim too much.
