When I reply by including posts I tend to think of it as the other person's words still hanging in the air, rather than as quotation. When I look at someone else’s words in my post (like your words above) it’s as if I’m still hearing it, rather than repeating it. Maybe because the style of writing on a message board is usually conversational rather than formal. Clearly I’m just plain nuts…
