Please stop doing this for the love of god it clogs up the whole thread and then the thread ends up being a fight between two people that requires endless scrolling. Surely just tag the person or copy their last comment; not the whole 20 post discourse?!?! Giving me the rage

Much preferred when people would highlight in bold text the quote to which they were referring to.

Oh yes you are right, I hadn't spotted the annoyance factor, shall not stop doing it.

There is a thread at the moment about men in the ladies loo that's gone bonkers on the nested quotes. There are about 15 nested and you can barely read it. I think there should be a limit on the number of quotes. I also can't stand it when two posters derail a thread with a petty side point and the nested function facilitates this. There is one at the moment where the OP has asked about living in inner London, it's completely clear what she means, and yet two posters are broiled in a nested quote battle about the exact and correct difinition of inner London!
