I'm really annoyed by this. One moderator loves to pointlessly delete quotes from user posts. Please stop. It makes no sense. It doesn't help anybody and actually hurts.
Quoting previous posts is a clear reference to which post I am replying to. And when somebody doesn't read whole topic but only skims through it, it allows to go only forward w/out backsearches "what did he mean" |

I agree with the pointlessness of full quoting of immediately preceding post. The times that a page break gets in the way is not often.
Forum / net communication is sadly, oftentimes, done with much less thought than other forms of communication. I lean towards the school of thought that if you can not take the time to learn/use inline quotes sparingly as above, you may very well want to rethink whether there is a need for your contribution to a thread. And quoting multiple times the length of your own contribution is pointless. Not everyone accesses the board while sitting in front of a large screen.
