Like most folk I read 80-90% of a post to see if I can contribute in anyway, but recently I find it harder as some folk are miss-using the quote button, see example below.

As you see, the person replying has pressed the "quote button" instead of the reply button, which is all very well if it is of use, but then the next person does the same thing, so you end up with a quote of a quote which means you have to read through loads of duplicated post.

You may not have noticed but if you right click and drag the cursor along, you can then "insert quote" of just a few words, as shown below.

Which means it is easier to read/understand, and you only quote the bits you need to.

Thanks for reading.

Deliberate, sorry for that...

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be about getting quotes from trades and how that can be confusing...
