When one 'quotes' previous posts
#7
Points taken, but while I agree we should all try to economic with our use of quoting past material, I find most don't read a thread, but the last post and having some of what was being responded to helps to orient and understand. I think a 'middle-passage' is best. ToiletToiletToilet

'comeon, techies, have the computer computer the lines/post quoted and set a limit - or 'old style' send 'friendly' 'reminders' to multiple offenders. When a post is really good, there is the temptation and reason to quote at least the best bits, methinks....yes, sometimes people quote the whole thing and it can be long - everyone think of the poor Administrators and we don't want to have to have advertising, like on some Forums 'we know'!:pepsi::pepsi::pepsi:
