Quoting the entire previous post when replying - if it's been superceded by others then fair enough, but even then it helps if any irrelevant parts are deleted.

I agree, it?s just sheer laziness.

Horrendous isn't it, just use the relevant bit.

Doesn't it depend on which bit is relevant? What if there are lots of relevant bits that are relevant? After all, relevance it relative.

Fortunately it doesn't really bother me with short posts...  :tease:

BTW then they aren't irrelevant.

Now I feel mislead!

That's why that was just an aside. The main comment was quoting something in entirety that appears just above.
