I started doing that middle of 2010, then along in mid-winter some one put on the board that it wasn't good for the birds that they held the rain water and would make the babies cold?? So I threw all mine in the trash.
On 2nd thought now, you reckon they go to the trash mountains to find all the threads. ha

Yes, I cut them as I gooooo!!! Was taught that by mom and G-Mom.... I have also heard a LAQ in our guild give a talk on the importance of Pressing, and cutting your threads...Her reason was the possibility of the threads getting tangled in the LAQ.... but I also feel the need to do tidy work as I go!!!
