Nested quotes are great for discussions that are spittered (pretty sure i made up that word. sup?) across long threads. Makes the conversation easiest to follow. I understand it looks cluttered but honestly when I know whats going on in a thread I completely skip over the quotes (or piles of quotes) and go right to what the user posted. Don't even notice they are there. I know everyone has their pet-peeves but i just don't see it as a huge deal.

Why is DakotaT "bee boy?" I've heard the reference many times but don't know the source.

So let me get this straight. You think nested quotes are great but you skip right over them? Then what, pray tell, is the point of nested quotes?

That is a lot easier than to clink the quote link on 3 or 4 prior posts.
Plus I will scan the replies. Sometimes I miss something. When nested I can go back and find the portion of the post that I missed, misread and get back up to speed with the rest of the conversation fairly quickly.

If we have it- great.
If we don't have it- I will do without.

As I have said so many times before, I am not opposed to nested quoting per se. I just seriously doubt that quotes nested more than two levels deep are ever truly necessary to establish context for a quote, and almost never does the entire post, much less a string of posts, need to be quoted to establish context. It's the routine, mindless use of nesting to which I object. No one has ever complained about not being able to understand my carefully trimmed quotes.
