That could work. IF peole could follow instructions.

Get past the first track and don't judge, let the rest of the album become a background element and this just might be someone's bag...

Really, we WANT to adhere to the rules, but if that entails a LOT OF WORK, **** it.

Come on people, if you're going to quote something like that, edit the quote down so that others can understand what you're responding to without having to scroll through a long post that they've already read.

Yeah, I've asked a few people to try to edit those down. That's a textbook example of something new users do that drives regulars batty.

My quote etiquette has changed with the introductions of mentions, though. I imagine people actually rely on those now to check for replies, so I'm more likely to quote the person I'm addressing than before.

Please set the default to quote only the quote ypu're quoting. I'm 90�o mpbile. Editong quotes is a PAIN IN THE ARSE. So tbese days I'm like **** it. Just quote everything. You'd rjink delwtig is eady, YES, ON DESKTOP. NOT ON MOBILE.

But seriously whp needs to quote aaaaallll the way bacl tp the original post whe there's back and forth? Change that template if you can. We only ever need the post we're actually replying to to quote reply.

Maybe the people not editing quotes are using phones? I cant strip down a quote when I use my phone I dont think. Will go test. But that's why I prefer to just rep and reply. Cant do it in shout either so I try not to quote in here at all on my phone or it becomes a big wall of text.
