I've searched but cant see anything on this (thought cant believe its not been discussed before!).

WHY OH WHY do people insist on quoting long posts? Yes, its blatantly obvious what you're talking about and I've just had to scroll down three screens of text to get your one word response.

Get a grip!!!

You're right, Pork. This is better.

I would agree with you, but I've just deleted your quote, and now I've no recollection of what you said. So perhaps I'll start my own thread here..

[Crimson Tide]

Why always the first reply? Why make us read the entire OP, and then have to scroll through it again to read the fact that you've put '+1' at the end.

I can see the case if the thread has drifted and you've only just happened upon it and want to comment on the original subject, but doing it when you're the first to reply is silly.

My memory is just as bad as yours. Small post, fine, but post that are multiple paragraphs....thats a different story.

Ah...thats like a breath of fresh air!

Perfect example of needless quoting in the first reply. For shame.

how many times will it let you quote/requote/rerequote?
will it keep making the page longer?
will it ever go on to 2 pages??
