The young'uns have a text abbreviation for it.... "TL;DR", meaning "Too Long; Didn't Read." Exactly describes my approach to these lllooonnnggg dense paragraphs.
As for quoting multiple layers of posts, especially including photos, just to add a one-line reply, that's just plain lazy thoughtlessness. They make it obvious that they're newbies who came online well after the days of dial-up.
TL;DR = excellent!
Now just add "NP" for No paragraphs - - NP;TL;DR
Quoting lengthy posts with (or w/o) photos - and adding a "one liner".
Yes - if the original was "junk" in the first place.
BTW - some of us were "on-line" when computers had banks of vacuum tubes - and punched cards were Remington Rand 90 column...:W
