To all you lazy quoters

[ChimpMaster]

<rant> When someone posts a long message on our beloved forum, why do so many feel the need to quote the whole damn thing? I would imagine that *most* of us are clever enough to work out what you are referring to without you having to quote the whole darn message. It's annoying to see thick people quote the (long) original message for no reason but laziness.

If you want to quote something just quote what you believe is relevant to your point and not the whole message. </rant>

Soo very tempted to quote the above lot and keep a trend going

I agree though

Looks like others have beaten me to it!

People, if you feel the need to complain about minutia, please don't create a post, then I won't have to waste my time reading it. Just do what most internet warriors would do in real life and mutter your disproval under your breath (for fear of a duffing up)

Oooh it makes me so mad it does
