marius Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Just a bit of advise.....when somebody starts a thread with a 20 paragraph post you DON'T have to quote the entire thing everything you reply to it...just put "to the OP" Does anybody agree with me of am I being too picky? It is just irritating to have to scroll though 50 quotes of the same huge post to see what the last post was.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest country girl Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 In one aspect you are right, I am guilty of doing it myself. Sometimes, when you want to post a comment though, it would be a little difficult for others to know who and what statement you are replying to unless you do it that way, not all comments are to the OP. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Marius, I have to agree. Mindless 'full slab quotes' are a nuisance. With the jostling of a couple more braincells all but the part of the slab being responded to can be edited out. Result: tidier page and less scrolling. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I usually hit the reply button and take the time to delete out all the superfluous copy I don't intend to reply to. But it's still a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2pelo Honey Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I think it's just that they don't know any bettter, and/or just don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find annoying is when people keep using the same animated graphic every time they make a post - yeh - that's annoying... @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The West Sider Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Marius, I have to agree. Mindless 'full slab quotes' are a nuisance. With the jostling of a couple more braincells all but the part of the slab being responded to can be edited out. Result: tidier page and less scrolling. @ Agreed, anyone can "cut and paste". In fact, a couple of posters do it quite well. TWS @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
