People, did some of you bother to read my original gripe? I'm not knocking quotes as such but when the post is around twenty lines long and your reply is below that post why quote it? For goodness sake the original is just above the reply sometimes, why do you need to quote it?

If the topic runs onto another page and a portion of the original post is relevant then by all means quote it.

Anyhoo, I'm climbing down from my soapbox, I've opened one of those proverbial cans of worms and I'm putting the lid back on (for me anyway). Once again it's all down to personal preference, it annoys some but not others. Vive la difference! It's the season of goodwill to all men so to all of you who don't agree with me............................ .............
















Bollox to the lot of ya!

please don't do that....





















































.....it's soooooooooooooooooo childish!

OK!!!








































enoughs esnuff, stop taking the pi55!

What's worse is forums that allow quotes inside quotes inside quotes, now that really does take the pi$$, you can do it in PMs on here or you can do it deliberately but a couple of the other forums i'm on if you quote a post with a quote in it it quotes both quotes one inside the other, it's right annoying

I love this forum. Some of the humour is so warped it could power the starship Enterprise!

(Yes I know it runs on Dilithium Crystals but that wouldn't have the same impact as the warped reference).

2) You may want to reply to a small part of someone elses post, and use a quote to indicate which part.

You mean like this Andy.

Cheers mate, I like to keep my best one's for this time of year. Everyone's starting to chill for the holidays, then someone puts the cat among the pigeons!

I was going to do the 'I knocked over and killed a deer on my way home from a trip to the woods am I allowed to keep it as I have a butcher friend who will prepare it for Christmas dinner'?

Then when everyone had their say I was going to post a picture of Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer lying dead in front of my truck. But I thought someone might catch on early and spoil it. This thread was much more devious!!!

In the words of TonyN.......Bwaaaahaaaaahaaaaa haaaa!!!!

1) Sometimes, you may not be hovering over your PC and able to reply immediately to a post, so it would not be clear who you were replying to unless you quote part of someone elses post.

He never said against quoting relevant portions.

I dont see a problem. Wrong side of the bed this morning chaps, or did someone steal your teddy?

I think it's more along the lines of the gits who paste 24 feet wide photos or quote a Bogus length post, for the sake of one line that grates. But not half as much as the annoying sods who keep requoting the 24 foot wide photographs.

Whatever the favourite screen res, photos/images posted online should be a maximum of 640x480.
