Quoting
Posted: May 7th, 2006, 11:00 pm
Dear members!
Lately it caught my attention that there is a big trend of overquoting. What is very annoying in mails, becomes a lot more annoying here on the Forum, where everyone can just scroll up a little bit to read what was previously written. Especially if it was written just in the post before, you don't need to quote the full text!
If you want to answer to a special part of someone's statement it's ok to quote this special part but not more. Instead of quoting, you can also just write To "Name of the person you want to quote".
It seems that some of you haven't seen so far that you can answer to a topic without quoting. To do so just click on the "Post Reply"-Button at the bottom of the page. Oh, and by the way there are these useful buttons on your keyboard called "backspace" and "delete", you can use them to delete all the unnecessary text, if you really want to quote someone.
