The reason it gets annoying is because if you're reading through an entire thread it's tedious to figure out what's meant to be read and what's just a space filler. Quoting a part of a previous post can be helpful, but it regularly happens that a recruitment thread will be LONG and quoted in full over and over again. No, it's not the end of the world. Just annoying. I think the reason it happens is because some people click QUOTE instead of REPLY as their method of posting. To me, the only reason to Quote an entire previous post is, by definition, to make sure this thread doesn't get deleted once the OP comes to his/her senses.
But hey, that's me. Do what you'd like, and I'll just scroll faster.
