Why do some members feel the need to "Quote" the entire reply directly above their response? We can all follow a simple train of thought. I can understand occasionally referring to an earlier post, but in MHO, it is getting really cluttered, and out of hand.

Just my 2 cents...
As you know, many threads veer off topic and can in fact go all over the place. As a thread goes from "here to there" it is helpful for me, and all members, to understand what the poster is replying to. Many don't do that and you spend a lot of time trying to read everything and figuring out how the post applies. Many times the previous posts quoted may be a few hundred words long.....good, it helps us understand what's going on. And, I have no problem reading lots of words... I read at about 400 wpm so a long post is "nothing" to me, and I think most folks appreciate the info.
