We've all read it. If you're replying to it we assume you've read it too. We don't need to scroll all the way through it again just to see your nugget of wisdom. Behave.

You're not my real mum...

LoneHydrangea · 10/08/2024 17:12

Yes.

Please, people. Stop doing it.

EVHead · 10/08/2024 17:12

Also, why write a massive long post then put the TL;DR at the end?

Put it first then I can decide whether to read the longer post or not!

Agreed! After this I will behave, I promise. 😃🤣

See what I did there 🤷‍♀️

I's a learning process for us who haven't done this that long 🤣.

So glad someone showed me how to 'mention' someone 😁

SkaneTos · 10/08/2024 17:17

It might be a way to "catch" the original post before the original poster edits it.
But in this forum you can choose to see the first version of the original post before edits too, I think, so it's not really neccesary here.

LaMarschallin · 10/08/2024 17:17

Drives me wild.
Especially when it's a massive post that has to scrolled past just to see 👏or something equally meaningful at the end.

I agree - it’s very annoying.

(But you knew everyone was going to quote your post - so thank you for keeping it short!)

Gelasring · 10/08/2024 17:18

Funnily enough, twice recently I've replied to an op without quoting and the person who posted immediately before has got the hump, assuming I'm talking to them.

In both cases I thought it was glaringly obvious I was replying to the op. It did make me think maybe I should always quote the op when replying

Side question: What does TLDR mean?

There was talk of MN making it impossible to quote the first post - wish they would sort this

I'm so glad you asked @perhapsatea.
I was too afraid to in case I got detention.😉

it's so annoying. It's also a thousand miles past being funny when people quote the OP in response to someone posting a thread asking this.

It drives me potty. I have to assume those who do it are a little dim.
