Yeah that could really come in handy. I just hope people won't use quotations at all costs because of it, for example, when they respond to the post directly above, or when a post contains huge pictures or tones of videos. I hate it when people quote all that especially when it's directly above.

But, yeah, I'd love to have this option.

I doubt it would go that far, if people aren't seen abusing the quotes as is. People seem to be pretty good already about trimming strings of photos and such out of quotes, and I see no reason for that to change.

What I do with quotes is this: If it's just text, I'll usually just leave it alone. If it's just text but extremely long, I either single out the parts I want to respond to or I break it up and respond to each point by itself. If there's only like 1 video or photo, I might leave it alone, especially if it was posted a couple of pages back. Then finally, if it has a ton of vids or photos, I cut out the ones I'm not responding to. I also hate when people don't edit quotes.
