I would draw the attention of new members to the forum rule regarding the quoting of posts.
Quoting Posts
Please use the quoting of previous posts facility sparingly and never quote, in full, the post immediately preceding yours.
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=27214
Just to reiterate please do not quote, in their entirety, posts which are immediately prior to your post. Quotes should be used selectively in order to highlight a particular point in the previous post or to refer to a specific comment further back in the thread.
Overuse of the quotes facility makes the forum unwieldy and difficult to follow as can be seen in some other fora in which it seems to be routine procedure.
Quotes which do not conform this rule will be deleted.

Re: Quoting posts
I want to reiterate one of my previous posts.
Maybe I should edit the post to state 'new and not so new' members

why not just stop being passive aggressive and just directly name me? Unbelievable.Beachcomber wrote:I want to reiterate one of my previous posts.

Re: Quoting posts
What's the problem?
The quote facility is there to be used for a reason, if several posts have passed it can be confusing to whom a reply is directed. Why micro-manage the members? Who is upset by this?
Hang loose!

Re: Quoting posts
I totally agree with Beachcomber. As you said, the quote option is there for a reason and Beachcomber has explained how it should be used correctly.
It takes very little effort to use the facility correctly, but if posters continue to use it incorrectly and quote whole posts for no good reason, those posts will either be edited or deleted.
