I'd guess it's a big deal to most everyone who tries to hold a 
rational discussion with others in this medium.  Not following the 
accepted norms makes that nearly impossible to do.

That's un-necessarily antagonistic.  Chill.

 Hu> I suggest everyone make their replies to Anonymous or All. 

That would be a Bad Idea.  Ridiculous, even.

 Hu> That said maybe we should just remove quoting all together. 

And another dumb idea.

 Hu> Seems quoting can cause more problems then it worth.

You're three-for-three.

It's really not that hard to quote correctly.  Just pay attention 
to the initials in front of what you're quoting, and use the 
editor as necessary to make it clear.  Thanks.
