Quoting the OP

[Farang]

Can you please start banning people who quote the OP to make a reply, especially really long OPs. Maybe every line of text needlessly quoted is a month off.

Ok, I can see this thread spiraling downward into a nef fest.

I almost always quote what I am responding to. In active threads, it is the only way to not get confused. It also prevents the poster from changing their post and denying what they wrote after you've responded.

There is already a policy in place for needless quoting.
Maybe the Mods didn't see it.

OOOOKKKKKAAAYYY !!!!

It looks like I might be in trouble now... I didn't realize that.

Now, I'll agree that needlessly quoting around is distracting, but the way this thread is going, it just seems that except for the OP, EVERY other reply is a quote to something or the other. 🙂
