Do you realise that this forces you to quote the entire post you are replying to? It doesn't even show up in the "Quick Reply" box at all, so you're going to assume it won't come up, hit "Post Quick Reply" and bam, the entire post you're replying to will be there.

Just my opinion, but I personally find this change tremendously more irritatng than over-quoting... and if anything the difficulty I've just described will only encourage accidental over-quoting.

I've had to come back and edit my post to remove the excessive quoting.
