quote to a minimum!
might i suggest ppl not quote every last thing they respond to?! it's an incredible waste of screen space, a waste of server space, and, frankly, annoying as $%&*! to read.
if someone posts a long, detailed comment, do not QUOTE it when you add "me too"! if someone posts a long, detailed QUESTION, do not QUOTE it if u are obviously answering! in any case, do not quote the IMMEDIATELY PREVIOUS POST in *any* circumstances! it's right there, we see it!!!! geesh, why do people do this?! if i repeated every last word of someone else in a conversation before adding my two cents, i would be very unpopular indeed. save the quotes for when they actually ADD something to the conversation, clarification-wise -- such as when multiple topics are in the air and there is legitimate ambiguity about which one you're addressing (interwoven model ID requests being a prime example). otherwise, PULLLLLEASE spare us! PLEASE!!!! my two cents. /ENDRANT (and no, you don't need to remind me what my two cents were before adding yours....) |

Quoting is fine by me, but it is best to only quote the relevant statements: this post is an example of this practice.

Yet you quoted his entire message: I take it you are being sarcastic...

aw geesh, alexora, now i gotta start a "don't point out the obvious" thread!
of COURSE BJB was being sarcastic. and, yes, i fully expected someone to reply in exactly the manner he did. kudos to him -- once -- but i'd like to eliminate the 90% of the posts that look like that in actual threads. and, yes, selective quoting has a purpose. your (alexora) first post would be fine most anywhere -- but there are an awful lot of threads clogged up with serial posts like BJB's. less the irony. |
