Thread:Feedback/Social effects of quoting/Gmaxwell

Is there any reason why LQT shouldn't preserve the position of posts within a thread unless manually moved— just as we have today with talk pages? Quoting can still be useful when you're responding to something far away, but I agree that its silly to have the same text repeated over and over again simply as insurance against your post being moved far away randomly by the software.

Obviously a message may still get moved to another thread and lose context, but someone can always just modify the message with a note to that effect as we do today when it is required...
