so for the purposes of sheer clarity let's go through the simple requirements here once more
if you decide to hit the quote button, please make sure you are not reproducing the entire post immediately above yours into your new post
the entire post? how is that a help? we can all see the post immediately above yours, with no trouble! even specsavers is not needed on that one
so if you are hitting quote, just as some automatic reaction, because somehow you think it looks good

you will be getting advice from freak or me
WHY? because we object to the padding out of our threads with totally unnecessary duplication, that does not add to the thread's message
so what does add to the thread's message? you can use quote in all other circumstances e.g. the post you're quoting is several up in the thread from your post, or you are only quoting a few words from the post, or just 1 line to which you are specifically replying to

thank you for your cooperation (which is 99% of our members!)
