Again, I think it's going to be a matter or personal preference if you like the quoting or not. I certainly understand about the scans being quoted, but for me who uses a standard desktop about 95% of the time, and don't even own an Iphone or Blackberry etc.....it works just fine.

I'm in the same school of thought as Frank W is, regarding this feature.
The "QUOTE" feature is overused by many. And, as Frank already said...... "Most of the time someone is 'quoting' to take exception to something that was said...." When making a point, why not simply refer to the Post # and spare us the "QUOTE". Or, why not simply "cut and paste" the portion of a Post that one feels the need to refer to ? Rather, than cluttering up the thread with the entire quoted Post. Of which, 90% is irrelevant. Anyhow, that's my 2 Drachmas....for whatever they are worth. T-Rex TED |

I am squarely in the T206 Collector-Frank W-TedZan camp on this one. No need to "quote" the scans, especially when there's a lot of them. When I'm on the fly scrolling a thread on my iPhone can take forever if there is a redundancy of scans. When I'm at my desktop it's just all the more clutter to have to wade through. Not the biggest problem facing mankind I suppose, just sayin'.
Great Cobb, Jeff. Way beyond superawesome.

Ted made a good point. Sometimes a very long post is quoted in its entirety, when only a sentence or two is relevant to what the next poster wants to say. Maybe shortening some of them would make for a good compromise. If I take the time to read somebody's long post, why should I be asked to read it again?

Ok, I'll try this again! Barry, when reading this post turn your sarcasm meter on.

Barry- You don't need to read the highlighted quotes if you don't want to. I only read them part of the time. It is better to take out the part that is actually pertinent to the response and only quote it....but that takes some time and sometimes I am lazy.

Jeff- what's to lose? Sometimes people post very long threads, often consisting of several paragraphs. I may read it and then scroll down and see someone has grabbed the entire long thread and used it as a quote. Am I expected to read it again? I will just ignore it. But if only a few relevant sentences were grabbed from that long post, I am more likely to read them. That's all.

Leon- to use your example, if you are too lazy to extract a few relevant sentences from a very long post, then why quote at all? Why not just say what you want to without repeating someone else's thread?

See, now I have to go back up and figure out which Cobb is superawesome since you didn't quote the photo.

It's actually a useful tool when used judiciously, but not when it is in nearly every post. Remember what happened to Elaine when she overused the exclamation point? Same thing!!!

Not to belabor the point, but I don't think I'm being "dinosaur-ish" by using the quotes feature judiciously. I think it is making better use of some of the features that are available on this site.
