Rathmun:
And now some lorem ipsum so that the site will let me make a short post with a large quote in it. (Seriously, why does it do that?)
It's to stop people quoting long chunks of text, just to add a short comment. Like for instance, when the
quote feature was first added to the forums we used to have people quote an entire multi-paragraph post, just to add, "Agreed!" or "OK." or the like.
Then the next post would be a quote of that (including the entire multiple paragraphs quote and the one word comment) but with "Yes." added.
Asking people to quote within reason didn't seem to work, so jase coded a way to enforce it.
