Why do people feel the need to use "quote" instead of "reply" when they are replying to the last post? No wonder so many threads end up so damn long, everything in them is said three and four times.

Try using "quote" to pick up on something that is several posts back, and just use bloody reply the rest of the time.

Rant over.

Yeah totally agree

EDIT - damn Cal you took my spot

Sorry sausage

Hey, what was this about again?

I don't get it

This was never going to end well

And what about people who quote themselves!

As a forum moderator, I should be setting a better example. Bad Pat!

yes really annoying.................. , i,m glad we are "all on the same page"

I like boxes.

huh?

heaps better with pictures.

pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft

Just quoting millsy

And it's Milsey BTW, but I'm sure he'll point that out to you when he next pops in for a visit

yeeeeeeeah, sooooooooooooooome pooooooooooooooosts becooooooooooooooomes veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery loooooooooooooooooong
