Would agree with this for most posters bar Deise of course.
His posts may take a half hour to read to he is the most reasoned and knowledgeable poster in ROI.

 Nothing worse than reading a thread when people keep quoting each other about 50 times Dead

Surely nobody reads all the quotes all the time. Shocked

I edit the quotes to what I need to before replying. Better that than quoting 5 long posts just to write +1.

Should be a one quote limit. Wrecks my head when people have a conversation and insist on re-posting EVERY feckin' post in the conversation. Absolutely impossible to read on the phone.

Spot on. On the phone I cant edit much of the quote either unfortunately, but generally then just reply by naming the poster and referring back to his/her post instead of attaching 5 quotes.
