If I'm responding to a post with multiple quotes attached, I usually erase all but the comment to which I'm responding in order to reduce the length of the post.
A lot of people don't know how to use the quote button, they copy and paste one sentence in there post and we read it not knowing if they are saying the same thing as a previous post or are they trying to quote someone. Just use the quote button.
