I think my opinion is well-known on this issue. :D

But, yeah, seriously, can we do something to prevent excessive multi-quotes? It's a pain in the ass.

multi-quote plugin is exactly what we want. We don't want long quote box chains. There is a huge difference.

I think this is a topic that is painful to discuss.

The way to handle it is to just try it for a couple days and see how people like it.

I expect it would be a nice improvement for the readers, and a real convienence for the posters - you can quote the last remark without taking the time to edit-out the old shit.

but my support now guarantees it will never happen. HE's a spiteful little bitch, that madtown.

...but only if Harlan goes to hell.

It is common knowledge, my friend, that Harlan is indeed The Devil and in fact, posts from Hell.

I like the multi-quote feature. Makes it easier to follow a dialogue. I don't understand why it's so difficult and painful for folks to scroll down.

Some small percentage of the population has photosensitive epilepsy and are prone to seizures when playing certain video games. Although it hasn't been studied yet, apparently the effects of viewing enormous quote chains can bring this on too.

I believe there is an old Rock n' Roll song written about Harlan. It was called "Devil With The Blue Dress On." :)

we've talked about this many times before. You are gifted and talented. I know it is frustrating, but you really need to learn to be patient with your unspecial classmates.

Multi-quote allows you to easily quote multiple sections of text, as well as multiple users. Each post you want to comment on on the page, you click the "multiquote" button, and it flags it. Then, in the reply window the quote is there.

It's really a lot more convenient when responding to multiple posters. Very different from what you're talking about.
