I disagree.Quote by all means but only when it is relevent.
quoting 13 remarks is over the top and will be removed.

On another forum, we have the rule not to quote the previous post unless there is more than one subject in the post or we are quoting specifics.

I do think too it is rather pointless to quote a whole post in reply - only if it is a few lines, and then only if you're responding directly to it.

Life's too short to re-read the same stuff over and over again! :lol:

I've always thought quoting to be rather comedic, myself, however we are going off topic with the subject of quoting... maybe a new topic for it?

this is much better. Cool

Couldn't you add a script so that however much you quote, only the message of the person you are quoting appears on your message, without their quote?

seen it before a long time ago
