Getting a little obnoxious here SLPx?
Admin (aka Percy) also gave you a warning yesterday, on another of your messages that was posted about the same time.
Now, don't start a forum guidlines debate.

And yet the entire quoted message remains.. How odd...
The deletions of the quotations have nothing to do with content. What I am trying to do is cut down on redundant text. What I have done to the quotations, was done because the quotation meerly repeated the content of the entire previous message.
My actions are intended to condense down page lengths and cut down on server storage demands.
Perhaps I should have explained my actions in greater detail, but I really don't want to be eliminating text, only to replace it with a bunch of text of my own creation.
Admittedly, my efforts have been pretty minor and insignificant, and the places I choose to do them are most highly hit and miss.
It is my personal feelings, that the quote content of the various strings has gotten badly out of control, since Admin set the "Quote Reply" function to include nested quotes. How often do you see a message; Then the next message is the previous message quoted, with something added; repeat process for more messages. Soon you have a big chunk of nested quotations taking up much of the page space.
I have previously made some other comments on quotation problems at:
http://EvC Forum: New Features -->EvC Forum: New Features . I would certainly like to see some feedback from others, on this quotation quagmire, at the above cited topic.
