I take your point on long posts that are quoted (and the forum software really should have a "snip" or "...read more" for longer quotes), but I see the bigger problem is when people don't quote.

Example: Someone will chime in on a thread with 10 posts and say "I agree!". The problem is that in the time it took for them to post that, someone else posted right before them and said something that wasn't even an agree/disagree statement. The person could have actually have been asking a question.

Person 1: "How often does sanitation come around?"

Person 2: "I agree!"

Since "Person 2" didn't quote who they were replying to, their comment doesn't make sense.

And note: I quoted your comment, or people here would be wondering who I was referring to in my reply.
