i don't like the nested quotes because after a few quotes, you get the whole thread in every post. besides, when someone replies they're replying to something specific, so qoute that instead of all the rest. personally, i think we could do with much less qouting anyway but that's a diffrerent story.

nesting quotes break the continuity of the discussion by forcing you to either reread a whole thread, or you spend time searching out the new bits because as some mentioned before, the reply sometimes ends up inside the quote, so now you're actually trying to figure out who said what in the first place. god forbid one of those posts gets quoted. then you have people attributing quotes to people who didn't author them.

anyway, nested quotes just get worse and worse as time goes on if they're allowed to continue. i've seen it time and time again on forum after forum. so my recommendation is one of experience, more than personal preference.

You need a bumper sticker that reads "NESTED QUOTES ARE THE DEVIL!"

Yeah, cause you have to be a Bush supporter to be stupid, deaf, and dumb.  Good one, I see you put a ton of thought into that comment.

Personal opinions and insults don't equate to common sense.

the rest of the world says its common sense.

its hard to explain because your on the inside and the rest of the world is on the outside looking in but it makes it so much clearer for us to see

its just like when preach went psycho about that "government aided 9/11" thing.. its what the rest of the world is thinking but americans dont understand and become very hostile because they are on the inside :E

personally if it happened in the UK i wouldnt be to bothered, i wouldnt care who did it or why, unless it effected me which is a very wrong and selfish attitude to have i know.. "blah blah when it does happen to me and everybody has that attitude ill think differently etc"

i wish i could say im patriotic but im not really, i dont even plan to stay a English citizen..

i know your in australia (atleast i think you still are) but your still american and hold the same views you did, which is why you will never see it

i think im using the word americans to much and generalising.. not all americans are.. i wont use the word stupid because your not, your just.. easily lied to?

the american government uses patriotism against you, and you fall for it because its what they teach you to do at school

Preach, hold your anger in ;) i dont want to argue and if you do i wont respond.. just my thoughts :P
