‘Quoting the Op’

Please, please, please Mumsnet, stop posters quoting the original post.
At the very least on the first page of responses (preferably first 100).
I know it’s stupidly easy to quote other posts accidentally now, irritates the hell out of me the number of times I hit ‘Quote’ when scrolling down and find myself at the bottom of the page, losing my place, but please can MNHQ stop the Op’s post appearing multiple times, often in the the first few replies.
TIA

Morning, everyone. We've had a lot of feedback about this and can see it's causing a fair amount of irritation.

The good news is we think we have a solution. It's going to take a little time to implement so won't be immediate but it is on its way! We'll update on Site Stuff as soon as we have any more info we can share with you.

Yeah, be good if quote could be disabled from the initial post. Even more irritating when the first reply has quoted it.

This really irritates me - just why..???

Unless you're brand new and shiny, straight out of the box, then you should know how to @ people. I'm absolutely fed up of seeing huge long quotes of the original post, especially when the first person that comments does it!
Although I have read in threads where people mention it as a pet hate, some people do it just to be goady. Bit sad really, when you've nothing better to do!
