I'm use to always quoting when I'm replying to a post on forums, whether it's directly above me or not. The reason I do this is two-fold. First there's absolutely no confusion as to who I'm talking to. Second and most importantly is this way if the person edits their post (or deletes it) then my post is not suddenly out of context.
I didn't notice the quoting rule until I saw Greenbean edit a few of my posts. There was no explanation, but I figured it out.
Recently I responded to the post directly above mine and I didn't quote. Later that person deleted their post and now mine is out of context.
Thoughts? |
