Is it just me that find it annoying/pointless when someone quotes the ENTIRE post that someone else has made, just to agree/disagree/discuss on or two lines of it?
Example... (dont waste time reading the article, just look for the bold bit) Quote:
Quote:
1. I've used an article longer than most quoted posts to make my point. 2. I've used this article rather than find an example from a thread cos i dont want anyon to think its aimed at them speciffically. I just find that i scroll and scroll past something i've already read only to find a very short comment that usually relates to just a very small part of the full post quoted. is it just me? is everyone just being lazy? is it that some peeps dont know its acceptable to quote just a bit, or they just dont know how to edit the quote? Opinions please ![]()

What gets me is when people quote 540 images and then put "nice".
![]() Or I'd just highlight a few specific sentences and put -snip- |

I tend to agree, but by using a quote and then removing some of the text you can change essence of the original, if you understand what I mean.
