Oh that's been a long standing pet peeve of mine, I really hate it when people quote the entire OP.

Mine too, and sometimes I call people out on it when I happen to be making a post in a thread when I see members doing it. It doesn't make sense to me why they hit the "quote" button instead of just the "reply" button--or at the very least, why they don't snip out the parts of the quote that aren't relevant, like I just did with your post I quoted.

I was also part of the long line of people that quote entire content

I'm sure I've been guilty of it as well, especially in my early days on the forum. Quoting huge blocks of text is something I've learned not to do, and I'm glad you've learned not to as well.

I'm reaally fed up with these stupid repeated quotes, and in some cases it is being dine by legendaries, who really ought to know better.

Jet Cash, whether your "experiment" has any effect or not, I'm glad you made this thread and I hope people read it--especially members who are new to bitcointalk. Yes, I too have seen Legendary members quoting posts unnecessarily but it seems to be a rampant problem with newer members.

The worst case I've come across (and I don't have a link) was one where a person was applying for a position in a signature campaign and quoted the entire OP of the campaign thread. And I'm sure the example I'm thinking of isn't the only time someone has done that.
