I'd rather spend my time on a forum with great members and some operational flaws than one that works perfectly but is loaded with spam or stupid/mean comments. Just sayin'. It's a very nice group we have here. But I agree; the default reply setting should not include quoting the previous post, because it clutters things up and it's easy enough to scroll up to see the previous post....and most people don't bother deleting the quoted post.
