How many pizzas do you make per week? Do you sell them? I would've quoted something else to begin to converse with you, but it was on the first page, and I'm lazy. Sorry :(

Why in the HELL (I figure that a stronger word that I'd really rather use would get me banned) are the AT mods so anal about nested quotes?!?

I'm all for them. *ALL* the time. I wouldn't mind a limit (enforced *only* by software restraint) of nested 3 or 4 deep... but allow at least that much. It's completely stupid not to.

People who reach "Lifer" status, should be allowed to nest quotes at will, with no limits on the amount of nesting.

Scrolling 100 posts per page does become a bitch when people start nef-quoting Better Nate Than Lever. Quoting that joke should be the only vacation-worthy nef-quoting offense.

3-4 is the limit that was quoted to me by the mods on acceptable nested quoting.

three nests are yay, more than three are nay(especially if they are of very long posts)

Fucking hate them. I usually go to the trouble of cutting out older posts in a nest when I go to reply to something. I hope they're gone forever once vBulletin comes along.

You melt in the summer. You depend on idiot kids freezing their asses off to create you. Your nose is a rotten carrot. So there.
