- matte_black 9y agoNot with a little bit of JavaScript.
- sjwright 9y agoIt makes sense to me. A formalised quoting mechanism is a recipe for everyone quoting everyone else, resulting in 50-70% of the words on screen being redundant and pointless. This is par for the course in most other forums.
- germinalphrase 9y agoI'm sympathetic to what you're saying; however, quoting is still happening – just in a manner than leaves 50-70% of the text annoyingly difficult to read on mobile.
- sjwright 9y agoAbsolutely. But by providing no formal mechanism, quoting is used extremely sparingly. Which is good. (The mobile formatting issue wouldn't happen but for a few rare crazies who attempt to hijack the wrong syntax.)
