Because it's entertaining to not do so when someone clearly has their panties all in a bunch.
So. You'll probably want a shorter/higher rise stem, whatever you end up using. You'll also probably want to rotate the bars back/up a bit more than for road use, and maybe have the brake levers a bit higher on the bars. At least that is what I've found works for me. My crosser that sees offroad use has a 46cm wide Salsa cross bar; very comfy, and the width is great for leverage.

Possibly. If we knew what sort of riding, on what sort of trails you plan the bike for, it just might help people give you better feedback about it. But since you're being an asshat about the responses, I'm not sure why I'm bothering. Other than the easy entertainment on a slow night at work for me factor.
