It was a rhetorical question, Bryan. Meant to point out the absurd affectation that detracts from a speaker's/writer's appearance of being literate.
Well let's be real, it's not that big of a deal. Between seeing the extra post behind mine, and then clicking "quote" on the original post, copying it, and then editing my post, that's about 10-15 seconds. So someone would have to be dang fast and on the ball to beat me to that. I've just edited this post 3 times, for instance (clarity).
That's also unneeded quotation
So much so you wonder if it was meant to be funny
But I really meant post #2 quotes post #1
That's just stupid
But many times the content of a post makes it perfectly clear which post its in response to
I think people just don't read
And yes
I know everyone reads
But not all read read
This entire chain is unneededUnless, before you notice that, someone quotes you. Then you wouldn't be able to edit.

It didn't quote the entire chain of 3-4 posts relating to um
You see that too much
Perhaps not here but on the net in general you do
Perhaps not all are concentrating on making you believe things through professional appearance
Some would define such behavior as posing
I'd rather hustle and prove peoples shallow judgments about a person as incorrect
People rarely learn anything when giving too much credit
They just end up feeling scammed instead of looking at their processes which enabled the scam to take place
Why is everything [figuratively] offensive to everyone [figuratively]?
If something bothers you, perhaps avoid it altogether or spend time investing in things that don't bother you.
Putting hope/finding happiness in the world and the things of the world will continuously fail you, for it impossible for everything to be perfect and fitting for everyone.
Love you all! Enjoy your weekend, may the weather be nice wherever you are.
I think this was covered once before, I believe it is a Klingon dog.
I have no interest in or concern with how "some" define anything. American English, as defined in real dictionaries, is the only basis of written communication I'm interested in.
I'm nothing if not real. Fantasy, science fiction, etc. have never interested me.
No need for "of" in that phrase. At least not in American English.
Only if you go back to the thread and look at it immediately after posting. Others frequently "post and run," then get quoted. I stand by the value of always quoting to avoid ambiguity.
If my response is obviously in reply to the previous post then I don't quote nor address the other member by name. If my reply could be even slightly ambiguous regard to whom I'm addressing my post then I add their moniker at the beginning of my post. If my post could in any way be misconstrued then I usually include a partial quote, adding "<snip>" before and/or after text I've deleted, or I bold and/or underline the text I'm referring to. If another post is added while I was typing then I edit as necessary.
SoS, I quoted you in full to pi$$ you off.
Seriously????
