Thread:Feedback/Social effects of quoting/Paradoctor

Spolsky probably has nightmares about critical reading. If he finds arguments boring, he should read something else. One thing to note is that there is no forum software with a quoting feature I know of. At best, they offer layout features that can be used to manually construct quotations. A quoting feature would have to provide a means of incorporating quote links, which contain instructions on how to extract the quote from the referred-to message. Everything else is just a crutch meant to assist manual quoting, be it >s, "s or hyperlinks. Werdna, please tell me you're not considering this seriously? (BTW, just noted that preview doesn't autoscroll to my reply.)
