Please please please, when you are replying to a thread here where most only have a couple of replies could you please refrain from posting the whole post from above, Honey does it all the time, if you use reply at the bottom right of the post you can, just reply. I am suprised it's not been mentioned before,
Sorry to moan but it's awfully frustrating.

I do it because with the long delay of posts, it is sometimes not clear which post you are replying to, and I dont wish to have posts misunderstood, especially with the deeply offensive tripe that is sometimes posted.

We dont know if the thread is going to have one post, forty posts, or no posts at all until AFTER we have replied and it (and all the rest) is posted some time later.

The problem is that this forum doesn't contract the previous posts, like some such as Digital spy do. (It doesn't bother me. I just scroll)
To me, if you quote a post it indicates that you are are replying to the person who wrote it, and invites a reply, and not quoting is more general.

A "block" feature would be very useful too, and save your agitation.

I can understand that the replies do go on for ever...but as you pointed out,they would not be linked if not,and hence would not make sense.

Popmuzik or Murder?...

Good evening Sir.... I'll be a lot closer when you wake up

M's view is correct - you can easily and simply refer to a post/view (briefly) - without regurgitating an extremely long post (often), with a series of points you are not responding to.

'M' used to look like Judi Dench, until someone shot her.

In another reality, where MI5 is run by JK, rubber bullets are employed in the ongoing war against the agents of the Silver Fox.

No need Honey as I can't be bothered to wade through the quoted posts if I don't understand I just scroll up and work backwards down
