Hi all,

When you quote someone, please don't quote the whole long message... this is really annoying, after having read a long message from someone I don't want to read it again! Please quote only the nessecary parts of a message.

So: when you quote, ask yourself: is this quote really needed?

Thanks in advance for making the forum more reader-friendly,

I like the quotes.

It makes the threads "make sense" , knowing who is reponding to whom.

I had a habit of "quoting people like this" (using the trusty copy & paste function) ...
BUT I have changed my ways due to the outcry!! :)
Now I use the quote botton, and think it reads more clearly.
Anyway.
Good Luck.

When the quotes make sense, please use them :) (really)

About half of the quotes I see are not needed. Specially if you quote the entire long message. It'd be better if you just quote the sentence that you are replying to.

...if you know what I mean...
