Selective quoting
« on: Mon, 16 June 2014, 14:29:32 »
On some forums I have seen a 'quote post' option where you can select the text you want to quote, on the page you are reading, and have it inserted into your reply. This would be a very nice addition to GH, and it would hopefully help cut down on massive, unnecessary quote trees.

You can just hit the quote button then delete what you dont want quoted. I do this frequently in the Simple Questions thread. However its much simpler to do on a computer versus a cell phone.

Obviously, and I do that all the time. But many folks do not.  ;) Plus, it really is easier w/ this feature.

Yeah you're right that it's much easier with your suggestion. Just thought I'd point it out in case people didn't realize.

What you are suggestions might help to put an end to things like this.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
