Not sure if this is possible, but what do people think to the idea of limiting the amount of lines you can quote, say max of something linke 5 lines or so ?
The idea behind it being that it's really annoying for someone to quote a large post just to tag a one line comment on the bottom.
Most people with enough common sense or courtesy just quote a couple of meaningful lines, but there are those that either can't be arsed or don't care (or both) and insist on quoting the whole lot just to tag a smiley or something on the bottom.
For those people who want to make replies to several parts of a large post, it might mean them having to do multiple quotes, but that's not exactly a lot of work if you're trying to get a point across.
Just an idea, I do a lot more reading than posting here, and I suspect there are probably others who do the same, and this would just make things that little bit easier for us![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
