just wondering why most members use the quote button when answering a post ...i find that i have to read the quote only to find its the above post...or am i being picky...

Possibly, possibly not.  When a thread is new and only a few posts have been entered it may seem unnecessary, but as threads develope, it helps to identify what post the poster is refering to.  ;)

Now multi quotes can be more confusing and unnecessary, and what I have found on other forums is the ability to pick 'Quote' or 'Multi Quote'. This saves time, easily identifies what the poster is referring too and stops clutter. Maybe one for the 'Admin Team'.  ::)
