stuckincincy Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 I always edit posts. Makes it easier to make my point my taking theirs out of context. 582274[/snapback] Well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 About quoting long posts. Now, we know that quoting gets a reply back to the attention of the original poster. Nothing wrong with that. If one wishes to make comment of length on a lengthy post, that's fine. But I do get tired of folks quoting a 2 or 3 page post, and replying "Your post is too long for me". I'm tired of having to scroll through such. I've even seen folks quoting a lengthy post, then accusing the poster of using up "bandwidth". Evidently, some do not know that you can edit the quoted source, just leaving a line or two, preferably with a tailing ellipsis... The original poster gets the reply without the lengthy regurgitation. Pretty simple, eh? 581723[/snapback] I kinda miss the days of "quoting quotes" ad infinitum...three screenfuls of a variety of quotes from people with "I agree" at the bottom...
