Not really a gripe so much as a minor observed annoyance. I can see quoting a part of the original post if your reply is specific to it. I can see quoting the OP if there’s a lot of replies and subject digressions. But if you are the first reply it’s safe to assume we know what you’re replying to.This message has been edited.

Me too. I figure folks are either unaware of how to selectively quote or just plain lazy.  Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

Short posts, don't care. But, quoting the entire article is just ridiculous. Q | |||

As I was reading the OP, I knew what the first response was going to be. I just did not know who was going to post it. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

It's particularly annoying when one photo is popular and people continuously quote it so the thread is flooded with the same photo.

This occurs when someone highlights everything in a post, then hits the reply button, as I've done with your post. I have no good explanation for this, other than people who aren't good with computers. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

You can also highlight text and click reply. The highlighted text will be quoted. It won’t show the author, however. These go to eleven. | |||
