This information is for everybody on here who likes to quote other members when making a post.

Please learn how to edit your quote to take out all the unnecessary information that came before the portion you wish to quote. It is quite rude and irritating to make quote of a quote of a quote of a quote etc. and expect the members and me to scroll down the page to get past all the stuff we have already read.

All that is necessary is to highlight all the print that does not apply and hit the delete key. Do this before you make the post.

I have to spend considerable time editing posts that should not need editing just because the poster does not know how or is too lazy to do the job right. NO LONGER! From here on in, I will delete any post that has too many quotes in it. I am tired of spending half my time editing posts to make them readable. Too many means those posts that have come before, and are not needed to make the reply seem understandable. Use your common sense and you will know how to do it right.

Thank you for your cooperation.:)

Well said ! Point taken!



(you new someone would do it)

Your post is a good example of a perfectly good reason for including a quote. It is on a new page and also is a long way from the post you are replying to. In addition, you only quoted me and not any possible others who also quoted me.

Barney, in this post, you double quoted. Kinda funny. DELETE DELETE DELETE

FWIW, I always try to condense quotes down to just what I'm directly responding to (when applicable). However, its far more difficult to do it on a mobile device due to the lack of mobile formatting of the website. If RV.net would get with the times and make their website "mobile friendly", this would be less of an issue. Most popular forums already do this.
