Hey folks! Just a gentle reminder that it would help if we all used the quote feature judiciously. If we limit our quoting to where it's really necessary, and edit what we're quoting to just the relevant bits we're responding to, it really helps keep "thread noise" to a minimum and helps with readability. Sometimes we use quotes to direct our reply at a specific person, and not necessarily at what they're saying. You might consider simply tagging the person in your reply instead. Like so: Dredd77Again, just an encouragement to take a moment to keep the place tidy!  We now resume your regularly-scheduled programming. |

Oh, and top quoting is the express train to destruction and ruin, don't do it.  Hey folks! Just a gentle reminder that it would help if we all used the quote feature judiciously.

Definitely overkill. |

And what about quoting, without replying something?

And what about quoting, without replying something? Not as annoying as replying inside the box where you quoted someone else imo. |
