[Cerek the Barbaric]

I agree with Sprout and Neuromancer. If I reply to a long post, I prefer to separate the paragraphs and insert my Replies at the appropriate spot. Peronally, I find it easier to read that type of post.

Also, there are times when I only reply to one part of an overall Post. In that case, I see no reason to quote a long post just to answer one specific point within it.

However, I do make an effort to keep the overall text and "tone" of the post in mind when Replying.
