You already deleted them, but they were there when I posted that. It's just annoying to see huge quotes because some people are too lazy to delete the un-needed ones.

Then please report every multi-quote you see that was done out of laziness, and I'll even go out of my way to edit every one of those, too. It shouldn't be too much work because the vast majority of multi-quotes are done intentionally to provide context rather than out of laziness.

Or we could enable the thread/hybrid view options, and get the kind of post tree thing you see at LJ, so removing the need to ever use quotes again

Take a shower, hippie.

Leeza, after seeing those hideously big and ugly pyramids in this thread, I totally agree with you.

Now if I had just quoted and edited so that only your post would show, this would be good, but most people won't bother going in to edit out the quotes that are not needed and then you end up with stuff like this. I think this post looks ugly, but I guess ugly is all in the eye of the beholder.

I glad you volunteered for the job.

I always manually edit the quotes out when in PMs, since they've always stacked up in there
