The reply quoting button.

It's moronic, pathetic, and used by people who have no excuse.

I really think the forums will be a better place without it, and I expect also that many people will agree. If you want to repeat something, CTRL C, CTRL V, you've done it for the reviews, so why can't you do it for a sodding line?

Please, really, this would make a hell of a difference.

It's annoying but I still like that quoting message button.
Perhaps it could be kept as a privellige for "sensible" writers.

"Ah, but you are obviously the fool, for you fail to realise that I am the sane one, and you are the idiot.

Fool."

Do you define insanity as stupidity?
Perhaps the freak nature in perhaps your eyes, can be a more inspiring way of life. For those that see things in a new light can help others to forget the ways in which they see themselves.
And hopefully, for once, we can see that logic can never be truly the most important path of life, and straying from the line can be much more rewarding.

Fool. :0)

So you are an idiot for even suggesting so.

Yes.
Therefore you are an idiot.

Ah, but by the same definition, so are you.
If you are an idiot, I cannot trust anything you say.
Thusly, I may not, in fact, be an idiot.

yeah, but the disadvantages far outweight the advantages.

How often do you see an entire message quoted, with a single sentence tagged on the end?

Too often. All the freakin' time.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Impressive control panel
