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.

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 that sucks...

In a topic you want to reply to a line...

So you reply quote, take out arrows, straighten up and pick the part you want.

Simple...

Not all this crap

But still. It would be just as easy to drag and right click stuff.
