this is something that i find really annoying on these boards, and that is people who want to quote a sentence or a paragraph, and they copy the entire post. this makes the pages really long and wastes bandwith. if you want to pick out a few words or a sentence, copy them out. if you want a paragraph, copy the paragraph; there is no need for the entire post again.

whats even worse is people who copy and entire post just to bring attention to it. like in the john howard post. someone copied the entire post just to say don't join the military. why not, insted of copying it, you just put there name before a comma.
for example:

<name>, just don't join the military.

see, that was easy and saved everyone the effort of needing to scroll down through the same post 15 times in a row.
