Serious about crackers.

And people who quote an entire post but don’t add anything to it. Just the quoted post.

^ There are a few forum members who most likely aren’t sure how to edit, delete, or respond to a quote so you get those weird quoted posts from time to time.

And when quoting posts that contain multiple giant pictures, don't include them in the post. (There is room to play with this a little, but the general rule still applies.) I like "gun 'porn'" as much as anybody, but I only need to see them once.

There was a thread a couple years back where people were compound nesting replies to the point where the original text was so small it could barely be read. I can't remember if it was a joke regarding quoted replies or an actual heated argument but do remember para coming in to tell people to knock it off.
