Or is it fun to annoy 99% of the population with big quotes and ending it with one sentence, usuall something alike "I agree". ??
What I really love to see is the people that post inside the quote (often not leaving a space between the previous text and their reply) so it's initially difficult to tell if they actually posted anything, or if they are just the sort who quote an entire post and hit the post reply button without actually adding anything. Posts such as this are often followed by another post that will quote it again, but this time adding a comment. There is an edit feature for situations such as this.


But yes, there is some serious quoting mayhem going on.

Can we please quit with the "reply to message" quotes and then add one line at the bottom?

Seeing Sir Ulli's post, he could have just as well deleted all the extra text and started off with:
If you are like most of us, not near Berkley,
{snip}

I hope, in time, we do donate some newer servers to Berkeley ..
{Snip}


Please people, don't over-quote! I've seen threads that done a whole quoting fest where people would even become confused as to who wrote what!

So why don't you use self sense and use your left mouse button, some use of Shift and the Delete key, to get rid of extra text that isn't necessary anyway, as we can all read it in the thread, when posting an answer to someone?

What did you say? He may not know you answered him?
His post started off with a message ID. You answering him will point in the forums in text to his post. So why annoy half the population here with your quote fests?

Tigher.
Ned Slider.
Sir Ulli.
Dr. Dennis (troll by thread)
Jim Baize (finally got the l out ;))
FFEMTcJ
ML1

Those are people I find that over-quote in Number Crunching. If you want to quote, quote correctly, please.
