Quoting the entire previous post when replying - if it's been superceded by others then fair enough, but even then it helps if any irrelevant parts are deleted.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

You could always start a thread about it! (but in Idle Chat - I also requested the home page to show what forum it was in, to help with this precise issue. Now if it was happening in your cave...)

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