When n00bs quote the OP. Not just segments, that's cool. The whole fucking post.

I swear if someone quotes this.

Isn't it sometimes important to make clear that you're responding to the OP and not to some tit-for-tat later in the thread?  

Besides, if it's a small post...



Usually that is the time when it's appropriate to use quotes: when you're not addressing the original topic.


Personally, I really despise the abbreviation "OP."

This.
Why should we assume it's not involving the OP if not indicated?

I recently made a post about this as well. I was stupid enough to post it in DTRM.

I am also driven crazy by that.
