Medicine Woman said:M*W: I don't usually re-read my own posts. I try to get the spelling and grammar down the first time. If other people want to read my posts, that's fine. If they don't, that's fine. I like to have my own individual style. I've tried the quoting system, but I didn't like it.
You missed the point. What I intended to communicate was that you may like your quoting system, but that doesn't matter because you're not the one who has to look at it in the end.
M*W: I try to use good English grammar and punctuation. I edit as I go. I have a problem with poor English, grammar and punctuation. I'd rather not read a post that is sloppy, regardless of the content.
Your English seems fine, and I think you misinterpreted me again. What I mean is that I have to edit *my own* text out, because it is in your post that I am quoting.
In other words, I post message 1, your post quotes message 1 and includes message 2, and my reply has posts 1, 2, and a new post 3 in it. However, since it is redundant to have post 1 show up again, I and probably everyone else here has to edit it out when they quote you. The quote feature automatically deletes quotes within quotes, so that is one advantage it has.
