Really???? Want me to find a few threads where all that was shown was total post FULL quotes from many previously responding people, not just one - where the print got so fractured that only (1) letter or word showed on a whole line/ one a whole page. Then you scrolled all the way down and the person who just hit the (easy) quote button made just a line or two comment - sometimes not even relevant to the thread or it had completely morphed into something else.
I assume you are referring to a quoted post that get requoted which in turn get requoted and so on and so on, so the quoted posts become totally unreadable. That is a result of the HTML when using nested tags of <blockquote>.
BUT, in order to post this, I not only C&P'd but also edited the HTML to show it as a quote. Probably not important, but just cleaning it up and of course, not everyone is familiar with HTML.
However, in a thread with multiple posts, it becomes confusing to know what any one post is referring to or responding to and a long thread quickly gets disjointed and out of control.
Yes, you can use the @Whoever button to designate who you are replying to, but an outsider would have to scroll to find the original message and in a long thread, that becomes a PITA.
Weighing the cons and the pros, my vote is for the return of the Quote function.
