Just a remark on quoting.
If you're quoting the last post of a thread, just don't do it, it clutters threads up too much.
Why repeat a post that's directly above your own?

Hmph! As if I don't know that this is directly at me!
, just kidding. Lots of other people do it, I'll try to cut back or something.

Because somebody might post while you're writing your reply, and stick a post between yours and the person you're replying to.If you're quoting the last post of a thread, just don't do it, it clutters threads up too much.

What if you're only addressing a small part of a large post?

I'll be sure to think about this then, but sometimes it's just necessary.

If it's a small part then it's okay, just not when it's a whole block of text.

My rule is that I never quote entire posts, just one line expressing the gist of the post. I don't quote quotes unless they're absolutely relevant.
As for quoting the person above me, I don't usually do it. Sometimes, I'll just write the person's name and my reply next to it.
