Noticing an increase in large quotes in thread replies...

This is becoming a problem again. There are a few threads I have read recently that the quoting in it is terrible. Quoting entire previous posts, quoting three or four posts together and replying with "yep that's right".

I know the staff is busy but it is a problem that SO points out originally so I thought I would mention it. I do send complaints about a lot of them, I just don't want you guys getting sick of reading my name in the complaints forum.

Most get looked after, some don't but it is becoming a problem again.

I've been here since December and never realized the significance of the "reply to" button. Thanks for the clarification.....and the button.

For SO, and all other 'three kings'.....oops, I meant 'three amigos'....

I've been wanting to print up the 'ATS Handbook', but cheap (or 'green') I just wanted to be able to print appropriate pages, the instructions to properly quote, how to start threads, etc, but for some reason the PDF (is it PDF?) doesn't paginate, at least on my computer (borrowed).

I need a hard copy to refer to, just don't have the mental retention otherwise.

Any ideas? Can the ATS Handbook be re-formatted, or is it a user mistake?

Thanks, WW

i'm still new here, who is signature? he/she has some good quotes!

Censorship is censorship and trying to limit someone making a point either in speech or text is over exercising authority, moderator or not. This is beginning to sound like Chinas net policy or even the US Government in certain areas.

Is there a reason for limitation?

While forum moderators can and do regulate the quoting, many of us use the quotes to substantiate the origin from which we have developed a view point or a more detailed insight.

Example would be the Bible or the Constitution for that matter.

And I quote:

Jesus said to him, "Again it is written"

Even Jesus quoted
