No, it's just netiquette. It's no different to holding a door open for
the person following instead of letting it slam in their face. Or saying
'thank you' instead of nothing at all when you get served at a shop.

Sometimes if I'm hanging around at an (airline) airport, I'll read
Usenet on my laptop over a GPRS (mobile phone) link. You pay per
kilobyte. An untrimmed top posted comment with 30 or 40K worth of
untrimmed comments with a 'Me too' response can get irritating.
