There have been previous threads about this, including one from me.
I find it intensely irritating that posters quote the op, especially when it is a long one. And to top it off, the reply is frequently just one line. It means scrolling through the same OP time and time again. I think it is fair enough to assume that everyone on the thread has read the op, so there is no need to keep quoting it in reply.
About a year ago? MN said they had organised a fix to prevent this from happening, but it seems to have been reversed.
What’s the position with this?
