Please Quote Sparingly

The "Quote" feature is a great tool on the Pocket PC Thoughts board, but please use it responsibly. I have linked above to an example of what we shouldn't do. I don't do this to pick on the two involved, both of whom are valued members of the Pocket PC Thoughts community, but only because I just ran across this one a few minutes ago. I am guilty of it as well at times, so this is a reminder to me too. :)
Why does it matter? Well, those of us on broadband could care less. It is just a bit of screen real estate. Those on modems though might appreciate a bit of a faster download, and those of us on GPRS connections are paying for every letter that comes across! :evil: This really hit me over the weekend when I was using my iPAQ and Nokia to access these boards.
So please, quote what is necessary to put your reply in context. You don't need to quote the entire sub-discussion nor do you need to quote a 40 line post and append a one line reply. :way to go:
