It may not be unique to BBS-land, but it's a nice feature that we have and it
doesn't exist everywhere
else.

In other forums, quoting tends to establish who the reply is (primarily)
intended for.  As in, I quote
your message and then add my own comments below, so I'm essentially writing
back to you.  Of course there
as well as here, other people are welcome to chime in.

 Ni> thing I've noticed happening more often lately is people replying and not
 Ni> quoting, and sometimes it's really hard to remember what they're talking

I'm not so bothered by that as long as there's some kind of summary / something
 to jog my memory, but
more than often that's missing too.

Of course there's the flip side, people quoting an entire message (often
including nested quotes) and
then adding their two cents in one line at the bottom - or worse, at the top.
