Fuck. This thread has gone to hell in a matter of a couple of posts.
Seriously, people. Nesting quotes two levels deep is (kind of) understandable . . . but four or five? Ugh. I've just read the thread. I don't want to read it all over again. |

Sometimes it is helpful to follow a real discussion. (not the one I just added to.) Especially if it is over the course of a couple of days. Saves the time of going back and looking at what was said yesterday or last week. It is just a useful tool. No one is making you read everything that was previously quoted. |

You know, if we didn't have this innate tendency to go off topic, nesting quotes would not be needed at all, lol. :P Oops, forgot to add ... Just. Saying! |

I know you were sitting on your stool conjuring ideas of how to piss off Rourke and went YAHTZEE!!! Nest a shit load of quotes! :) I disabled it again, because it is annoying and exponentially increases the size of the database with each post. |

I disabled it again, because it is annoying and exponentially increases the size of the database with each post. to save the database space I manually cleaned up my nested post. |

Space in the database is not a real big concern at all. If it is, I'll prune old topics rather than ask folks to post less.
I just don't care for reading the same 4 posts in the ensuing post in threads. I know sometimes it nice to have available, but the posts are there earlier in the thread for reference.
BTW, I created this topic and titled it, not Rourke. |

Nested quotes are great for discussions that are spittered (pretty sure i made up that word. sup?) across long threads. Makes the conversation easiest to follow. I understand it looks cluttered but honestly when I know whats going on in a thread I completely skip over the quotes (or piles of quotes) and go right to what the user posted. Don't even notice they are there. I know everyone has their pet-peeves but i just don't see it as a huge deal. |

I've viewed them as clutter and not important. Although, knowing that it gets Rourke's panties in a bunch ... I may have to reconsider. :P |

Okay, this is a good point. (Hence the applause.) On the other hand, I think you and I are rather unusual in the age of internet superficiality and me-me-me-ness in that we read the entire thread. |
None of the above. It wouldn't have been a wasted vote. Obama and Romney -- Those were the wasted votes. |
