'Quoting the OPs OP" WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?

[FionasFanjoFondu]

The newish 'quote' function is great for when you want to answer a specific poster within the thread. If you are just responding to the original OP, you really REALLY don't need to select 'quote' and include the whole fucking opening post before you respond.

The assumption is, that unless you reference a different post - either by poster name or by 'quoting' their post, you are RESPONDING TO THE ORIGINAL POST.

Can someone tell me where to access this quote function?

YANBU.

I'm just grateful that we can't quote a post which contains quote!

Placemarking even though I could use the bookmark and watch this thread functions and didn't want to read and run, hun x
