Is there a reason for that, Mods? Would you rather we didn't do it?

Certainly makes longer threads a bit easier to follow/track.
Like this?

A decision was made many moons ago, when the PPRuNe server came out of a Christmas cracker, that too many people were hitting Reply and filling threads with a huge amount of unnecessary verbiage, that setting Reply NOT to automatically include the entirety of the post being responded to would be A Good Thing.

PPRuNe seems to have coped remarkably well without the functionality, although telling people how to "quote" is a bit of a bore.

Possibly the decision could be reviewed, now that IB are running the show - and paying the 'leccy bill. Why not drop Admin a line and see if it gets included the New Year Resolutions?
