As a moderator, I want nested quotes As a user I want nested quites. So that makes two votes for nested quotes.

Damn Elsi, I wish you hadn't mentioned BookObsessed. Now there's another forum for me to wander mindlessly through. Shoot.

OTOH, thanks cause I can't get enough about books

I'd love this option as a setting in user profile.

if it were set to "off" by default it might avoid some abuses by lazy posters (if they are too lazy to remove excess quotations, they are probably also too lazy to change their profile settings )

Excellent recommendation! I'd vote for this - wait - I don't get to vote...

I just noticed the other day, since this had been mentioned that in Private Messages you do get nesting quoting.

May have been. I just never really paid attention.

I would think that anyone who could type upside down & backwards would have no problem with nested quotes.

Perhaps if you built them a nest, you could attract a few quites...

i hear quites like to nest in lofty places. perhaps if we elevate the discourse to a sufficient level, they'll nest all by themselves.
