The quote option is good but imho is too often overused. You'll often see a question with the exact same question quoted directly below it and then that post again quoted in full directly below that. Personally I prefer to quote the pertinent points of a post only if a quote is required. It often is not. The above is a perfect example of where a quote is not required but is still quoted in full. Sorry BG2SOA but that's my personal opinion and is not a form of personal attack in any way

. Some threads are quite large and it may be that a response is given some way down the page in reply to a post much higher up in the same thread, in these instances I think a complete quote is quite acceptable.

My personal opinion only so don't be shooting me down in flames ok

One love, peace.
