don't be ;o) it is obvious when there are people who don't understand it versus those being jerks about it

Using multiple posts instead of a multi-quoted one is better for your discussion partners sometimes imho.

I beg to differ. Implying that using single replies/quotes is lack of courtesy seems to be quite a stretch to me, a hasty generalization if you will.

there are two people that come to mind immediately that come to mind that are blatant about it. it is VERY difficult to follow a conversation when they are bringing multiple quote forward from several pages in the conversation. I have seen it take up more than a "page" on the screen
