Using ~snip~

[Ipwich]

We have different interpretation on the post we quote, but for me, if I reply on a certain post, I normally pick the sentence where I should focus on replying, because sometimes you see an interesting sentence it's part of the long sentence, so either I select the interesting part or just ~snip~ the whole post.

However, there's a little disadvantage for the reader especially if you are quoting (~snip~ ) a message that is pages behind, and some of the readers are not educated enough to click on the quoted message to reveal the real message, they just read and that's it.

Me, I just ~snip~ when message is in the same page of my reply, would be easy for the readers.

Rules of using quote in one reply post:
- The first quote: quote with link to original posts
- The rest quote: simply use

Code:

[quote]
contents
[/quote]

Because, for later quotes after the first one, readers already known which posts you want to discuss/ mention about.

I don't see any reason not to use this header several times

Code:

It doesn't take more space and allows you to be sure all quotes are (or aren't) from the same post/person.

I'd say what you are saying is actually a bad practice that shouldn't be used.

Any quote should have a reference attached to it, be it another post on this very forum, or a link to the website/book/whatever the quote is taken from.
