When one 'quotes' previous posts
#5
To One and All:

Jan speaks to one of my pet peeves (small furry rodents with sharp teeth).

As is the case on all websites, ours comes with finite bandwidth. There is no need whatsoever to replicate lengthy posts in their entirety when referencing component parts therein.

Either direct readers to the post(s) under consideration (by thread and post #), or extricate those passages of direct relevance to your commentary.

If nothing else, think of this suggested methodology as a courtesy to readers -- and as an effort to cull the peeve, an all too unendangered species.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.
-- James Lee Burke, Rain Gods

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless.  All you can do is control them or eliminate them.  Innocence is a kind of insanity.
-- Graham Greene
