If you're responding to the immediately preceding post, as I am here, there is usually no need to quote anything. I only use the Quote function if I'm commenting on something from a non-contiguous post that needs to be included for context. It's pretty easy to edit out the portions of text that you don't need to quote. Sometimes, Matt_L, you only have to use the name of the poster that you're responding to if the intervening posts are short and the post being replied to remains in view for most people.
