Over Quoting - Let Go Easy

I think it's great that this has been addressed, I use my blackberry to view the forum while I'm at work (sneaky, sneaky, JK, they don't care).. and it's a pain to scrolllllllllllll for a long time, just to see an "I agree" or something like that.

It's a pain sitting right here and not using a blackberry, too.

For large quotes, its also not a bad idea to not use the entire thing. It is usually unnecessary. Break it up with some periods, nothing wrong with that. Example-

Lets people know what you are referring to, and also saves space.

Or you can do the classic -

@ladyhobbs-Yes

@william-don't make it larger

Just some options that can cut down on quote sizes

Really,just use a bit of Common Sense! How hard is that?
Its real easy to do.This over quoting thing is already ridiculous.

Common sense isn't as common as you might think...

Time for another reminder??????????

Forum Rules state:

QUOTING. It is OK to quote another post but "excessive" quoting is annoying, makes posts too long and makes it difficult for cellular uses to acess the forum. Use common sense and respect and only quote when necessary! Quoting every sentence or paragraph is not allowed.

Bringing this to the top to get attention (again).

Excessive over-quoting again. There is no reason for a post to be a block long. Or to quote entire huge posts to write......." I agree". Or to quote the post that is directly before yours.

People don't even want to read a thread loaded with quotes and it certainly is not appreciated by our celluar uses.

Thank You again.....
