No reason not to multi-quote; that's what it's for.

It's longer still when it's a bunch of individual posts.

All you have to do is hit the multi-quote icon as you read, and then the relevant posts are listed in whatever order you want. Or maybe I'm missing something; I don't quite get your point.

Heh. I'd still like to try. And most seem to be able to multi-quote without catastrophe.

I do have signatures disabled. However, I find avatars more helpful than not when skimming a thread.
Well, it was just a suggestion. Some boards don't allow sequential posting at all, which I do think is a little draconian. To me, it's the issues of courtesy and elegance, akin to limits on image size. From what I'm reading here, those who favor sequential posting are thinking more about their own convenience.
