At the risk of sounding like a whinging, irritable old bag ... it's really starting to annoy me that people quote the entire previous post in their reply to a thread. While I'm tempted to name and shame, I'm sure you know who you are.

If you're responding to the last post in a thread, just click 'reply', ok? We really don't need to read the same text twice to get the message.

Quite so. Peer pressure is so much more effective than Modding (and the mod doesn't get it in the ear, either).

I saw a thread in "the other place" where a many-paragraph diatribe was repeated in its entirety with a one-liner response. I was tempted to register another ID so that I could post a riposte, but as usual I got sidetracked...

I'm glad to be doing you fine chaps a service!

(And glad to know I'm not just having a grumpy day. )

It's especially annoying when there are images in the quote...
