Trying to Get Pregnant

Why do people quote the original post?

Why quote the original post especially if it is a long one (more than a paragraph)? Also, especially if you are not going to highlight something in the original post that you are responding to? Just respond. Everyone read the original post and knows that you are replying to it. Don't quote the whole dang thing to where it takes up half the screen. Pleeeze! It's ok if you want to take out a line or two of the op and quote it, but not the whole thing! Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

    Do what you want, its a message board. 

    Now they can be shortened if it is like 5 responses in 1 post and it takes a minute to scroll through. Basically it just helps people know wth they are talking to or responding to.

    Thanks Lyse and thanks to the other ladies who responded similarly.  I just assumed I was getting called out, because I had just done that with a lengthy post in the MIL vent a couple of times.

    Which?

    Use the quote button?

    Or tell an entire board how to behave?

  • I'm not running, I'm working today. Sorry I hurt so many feelings but I just don't get why you quote the op when everyone knows that if you post a response it is to the op. Unless you quote a certain line or someone elses previous post, in which case, quoting the whole post is fine IMO. Sorry ladies, I just don't get it. I didn't realize people have strong feelings about quoting original posts. My bad. I guess.

  • Oh please. Don't get it twisted. No one's feelings are hurt, and the comments weren't in response to you sharing your feelings, it was that you stated it as you didn't like it so we had to stop it. If you don't like it, don't read it. You can share your opinion all you want but its not going to change the way people post.
