Barney - maybe he was "before your time", but (outstanding) Moderator Sir Francis Drake (RIP) made the same observation about quotes (quoting the entire original post).

He did *his* due diligence with the "powers that be" - and backtracked on the need to do so.

I agree there is really no need to quote an entire post, but as he (found out - his research) and then pointed out - it didn't really matter.

So - are you speaking from *your* own point of view, the Admins, or?

:@

There are very few on this forum that are "before my time"! :B I was the 2nd moderator "hired" by Admin about 16 years ago and had been a member of this forum for about a year before that.

I am not speaking from Admins point of view but strictly from my own. I spend a lot of my valuable time on this forum in order to help our members get a better experience. That time often involves editing a members post to take out unecessary quotes that have already been quoted many times before. I hate having to scroll past quote after quote in order to read a response when all the member had to do was delete the extra quotes before posting.

Instead, many members just hit the "quote" button but don't take the time necessary to edit their post, before posting it, to take out the extra quotes. I think it is a reasonable request to make and since I have moderator privileges will delete posts that contain long strings of quotes. No, it is not written in the rules but is a "campaign" that I have undertaken on my own. I, unlike Sir Francis Drake, will not relent and will just delete instead! :B

Since this post is completely off topic, I will just say I'm sorry to the OP and that no more response is needed here on this. If you wish to respond to my remarks above, do it in the thread that I linked to earlier.
Any new responses to this thread that are off topic will be deleted.

Carry on! :)
