Are you as anal as me?

[blurredvision]

I just realized I am anal about quotes on this board. For years, I've always made a habit of taking out the extra space after quotes, even when I'm quoting other quotes. With these fusetalk boards, it automatically inserts 2 spaces when you use the scripted prompt for quotes. When the board renders a post with a quote, it automatically enters spacing afterwards, plus an extra space that the scripted prompt inserts.

I guess I don't care for all the space, so I ALWAYS take out the spaces. If I'm quoting a post that has 3 other quotes in it, I take out all the extra spaces of those, too, like it matters or something.

So, being that I'll certainly be ridiculed for posting this, I figured I'd even throw in a poll for your viewing pleasure .

As anal as you? probably not, but I generally remove all the nested quote BS when I quote someone, rather than have a single post that takes up half a page...

 

[UncleWai]

That's analistic

EDIT


Of course ATOT has to take a joke too far...edited so I am not on the list of new passengers for the BAN train.

 

[middlehead]

I generally remove them.

 

[dennilfloss]

I try to only quote the relevant part and not all the previous nested quotes like some do (which makes reading long threads quite unpleasant at times).

 

[RossMAN]

I've never noticed, until now!

 

[alimoalem]

depends, i sometimes remove them

 

[Shawn]

anal sex?

 

[GeekDrew]

I usually remove them.

 

[skace]

This is what it looks like

If you keep typing right after the /q instead of hitting enter.

 

[DaShen]

I do the same. No big deal

**EDIT**
You realize you are posting on a tech forum right?

You can't get much more anal than a tech forum.

I thought everybody did.

 

[Jeff7]

Yup. And I'm careful about accuracy of nested quotes, either editing a post after making it, or else using the Preview feature first when I think of it. I'll sometimes start my comment on a quote immediately after the ] in the closing tag.

 

[Evadman]

Yep. And I usually remove any layers > 2 in a nested quote if they are not relevant.

Forum issues topic?

Ya I know, I am just being anal.

 

[her209]

I'm obsessive compulsive like that.

 

[Nocturnal]

More often than not.
