I like the quote function but can we limit the amount of quotes though? I mean, seeing 20 (I'm exaggerating but you'll get the point) quotes in quotes and there's a tiny new reply for those quotes is very annoying. Is it necessary to include the old quotes that are no longer needed in your new reply?

Randall,

Posters could still use the UBB CODE quote tag when they really need to quote someone for clarity's sake or to introduce and attribute a quote from a book, website, etc. So I don't think it is necessary.

Personally, I find the 'edit' button more useful, because for some reason I see grammar/spelling/other errors more easily once the post is up on screen and I'd like to be able to correct it.

quoting because i agree and people should never stop thinking about what they are writing about - knowing that someone might quote you and that you would not be able to edit it should motivate people to think before they speak (write in this case)
