It's just happened again, as it has many thousands of times before.
I read the first post in a thread, then the second post quotes the ENTIRE first post.
Why?
It's beyond tedious. Did the respondant think we wouldn't know what he was referring to?
Also I find the "quoting" of photos to be usually unneeded and space consuming.
When I do quote someone's text I try to edit it down the the bone.

I tried to find a previous appropriate thread to add this to (NOT trying is another pet peeve) but there seems to have been a spring cleaning here.

Thanks for letting me vent for a moment.

D'OH! I just remembered what the next poster here will do.
Well, I asked for that.
