Well, I figured some people (mostly in P&N) had to be shown the proper way to quote people in an argument (i.e flamewar).
However, first I must show the wrong way.
Here we will look at a present argument and see how it eats up way too much space with lazy quoting
that leads to drastic redundancy, harshly annoying all that are outside of the argument. Let's say Bob
thinks the color blue is the best, while Tom thinks that green is the best color.
To save time, I will simply display reply #9 to show how grossly bloated the page becomes.
Since this topic will be addressed towards flamewars I will use the language of P&N.

I think that blue is the best color ever. All others that disagree are clearly fascists.
Yeah, whatever sheep. It should be clear to all that green is the superior color.

Now, let's see the correct way to address someone's previous comment.
Tom is going to respond to Bob's recent post which questions the color green's fondness towards the United States. I will draw a little diagram to show how you can quickly disassemble a post into the most recent comment that someone has made. Brackets will be replaced with parathesis in order to bypass the code.
(q)(i)Originally posted by: (b)Bob(/b)(/i) <--- this stays
(q)(i)Originally posted by: (b)Tom(/b)(/i) <-- This and all below it, except Bob's recent comment (GREEN HATES AMERICA!) is removed.

Now wasn't that simple? Now run out there and pretend people care about your opinion. :heart:
I thought we had established some years back that nested qoutes were not teh k3wl.
