It's not just the comments; it's the inane questions like "What f stop did you use" and "Is that Provia" that I also dislike (from one member in particular).

I see your point and agree. I've always enjoyed this quote from Plato,
"Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something."

Just a reminder, there is always the "Ignore List".

You still see comments (and images) from quoted posts of ignored members but I guess having such a list is a consolation.

No need to even do that especially since what is YOUR previous page may be different for someone else). If you are quoting a post, then people can click on the arrow to the right of the quoted person;s name to be taken directly to the post being quoted.

But even more offensive is the quoting of a long post when it isn't even needed

Its like people attempting to show they're listening or having a 1on1 by repeating everything said by the other before replying

Um
Quoting is not needed when you're the 1st to reply

...Um...

What's the meaning/purpose of these two letters?

...Quoting is not needed when you're the 1st to reply

One has no way of knowing in advance that someone else's reply will not be posted before one's own. Quoting is the only way to absolutely preclude ambiguity.

I never quote when I'm the first response either, and if someone's post pops up before mine because they were faster on the draw I just edit my reply and add the quote.
