I'm very unhappy that we don't have quote boots here. It makes threads more muddled and insular. I think the reasons often given for not having it feel like either calling a bug a feature-- or worse it feels like calling everyone who uses and likes them irresponsible, lazy.
I dislike that to discuss art or posts I admire I must either copy the material (with attribution of course, but that's not as effective) or I leave a comment that clutters *their* thread.
