Declan Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Why did you need that quote? You only needed to write "A worthy cause, John, and I wish you luck.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I think I may have solved that mystery Declan. Since one of the forum updates (not the latest one, maybe the one before) there is a new button for people to play with. Whereas before, you'd simply hit 'fast reply' for a quick and basic response to a thread/post, or 'add reply' for something a bit more detailed/jazzy; these days, there's also the 'reply' button tagged to every post and if you're simply responding to the thread by means of hitting that on the last post, you get these unnecessary quotes that pop up all over the place. Get 2 or 3 posters replying to each other in such a manner and you get bloat quote overload. Anyway, sorry to go off thread John, I hope your event is a success.

Sebrof Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Why did you need that quote? You only needed to write "A worthy cause, John, and I wish you luck.". You must be a happy man if you have nothing more to worry about than whether or not I quote a post, and a sad man if my doing so irks you so much that you have to keep mentioning it.

Get 2 or 3 posters replying to each other in such a manner and you get bloat quote overload. Exactly right. But also, when one is responding to a message earlier up in the thread (as in the recent case), it is often helpful to quote so that it is obvious which message one is replying to. If Declan were capable of politeness, I might take more notice of his requests. But Hell will freeze over before Declan learns that four-letter words are not an effective way to communicate a wish to somebody. But just out of interest, is there a one-button way to reply without having to delete quoted messages? S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 four-letter words are not an effective way to communicate a wish to somebody. That Ain't True. Don't cite each post. Less will mean more - thus keep your post tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
