I do reckon the 'quote message' option is at best redundant and at worst abused.


It's not great to look at, and tends to hold-up the flow of a thread. At worst it tends to be used by people methodically, pedantically (and occassionally personally) attacking a particular post, rather than the spirit of the debate.


When posting is thriving, it's easy to start your post with .. 'Good point, xxx' or 'XXX, on mentioning...' which achieves the same thing without making the unappealing stuff so easy to execute.


What do peeps think?

In the past, I've replied to a point without quoting, and by the time I'd finished, and posted the message, at least 2 other posts had been added in between, and it was unclear what the hell I was on about... For that reason I think it's useful.


I do however agree that it can be used for personal attacks, which is obviously not very nice.

Because you might not specify which particular point XXX may have made, and it might be some posts back, or even on a differnt post.

I vote to keep it.

Witches were the most character of my childhood. I think every child has listened to the story of a witch and a fairy by cheap assignment help source. Parents who want to entertain their kids used to tell me these types of stories that have no link to reality.

    • Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.    
    • Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor
    • Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer.
