Question about quoting posts - Minionman - 04-16-2005

Is there any way to change the posting system so that if you quote a post, the quotes from the post you are quoting are copied as well? the system now is:

first post:
guy Wrote:
gal Wrote:balderdash
rubbish

it gets copied as

felow Wrote:
guy Wrote:rubbish
great

in fellow's post.

In the new post you make. What I'm hoping for is how it used to work where you get

fellow Wrote:
guy Wrote:
gal Wrote:balderdash
rubbish
great

as your post right away.

Edited: to fix quote tags :P

What you are hoping for would lead to over-quoting, as evidenced by my post.

Yes, some people don't understand the concept of only quoting the relevant text.

Sometimes, though, when responding to posts I'm writing back to ideas from both the post I'm quoting and the post before that, so having both quotes makes the response make more sense.

Ahhh. But that is where you have two posts. One for each person. :shuriken:

Question about quoting posts - Minionman - 04-21-2005

A lot of times the thoughts I have both the post Im' responding to and the post it quoted go togther.
