I'm used to this UBB format from other boards, but I am stymied as to why people are so fanatical about cutting and pasteing previous posts in threads. It is certainly helpful if it is a long thread with many questions, but many times it is on a 1 reply thread. Whatzup with that?

My guess it so people don't have to look up what they wrote.

Hey Mikey! He likes it!
I am trapped up here in the frozen North but went to school in Houston at R. E. Lee HS. I am always looking for a good laugh. Thanks for having a sense of humor.
PS I don't know why other people cut & paste, I do it because I CAN!

I was tempted to fall to the "Darkside" and cut and past your reply here but I won't! ~ I refuse to go over

Went to Clear Lake many moons ago...(many, MANY moons)

Hi Mike & Mike,

Sometimes I find unnecessary "cut & paste" annoying, too. I suspect that some people always use the "Reply w/ Quote" icon instead of using big "post Reply" button.
