  Heh, since you were only adding a one-liner, "Top-posting ruthlessly
snipped" would have been better.  http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOPRUS!

Huh? There is no such acronym on the http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#OLOCA

Hmm... Top Over ?? Ruthless? Under? Snipped?? Clearly I'm not quite 
translating that.

  Try going back one sentence in the original post....  (ok, it's not a proper
acronym, but TRS is just too lacking in personality to be used!)

Ah, ok, some of those letters are not new words... :-)
Other possibilities:
TPRS (same), or ToPRuS (hey, that looks kind of cool!)
?QRS (?? quoting ruthlessly snipped, where ?? is Excessive, Unneeded, 
Gratuitous, Redundant, or your favorite synonym), or ?PRS (same, but 
with p=posting)
??RRBDAHOI (?? same first two as above, ruthlessly reduced by dropping a 
hippo on it. I vote for this one ;-).)

Ok, so the quotes aren't entirely original.

  I vote for that one too.  But what happens if it gets to be president?
