You've already made the choice. Now you have to understand it.

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...
I love that my out-law family only get me NOW, aftsr 13 years.

It does drive me crazy when people quote lengthy posts - like movie reviews - just to make one quick statement. 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.
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.
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.
