Grrr!!, dunno. Maybe. Probably not. I'll wait to Deity, and spring a surprise on you all

SG[1], we've been able to do that for a while, not sure how long. One of the quotes has to be with the [q] marks, and one with [quote] so they don't interfere.

Actually you can nestle as meny quotes as you want as long as you use the [q] marks rather that [quote]. Most people use quote, and reply automatically does this.

I did realise this (the use of 'q' and 'quote') but the post above was a straight "reply with quote" I did nothing to it - it simply appeared as a 'q' within a 'quote' and I concluded (incorrectly as it now appears) that the system had ben modified to do this automatically ...

...and are then gutted that you got PCRed down again, even though you knew it would happen, and were here to see the exact same thing happen to DarkCloud when he made a "Yay, I'm an emperor" thread.

When you start to realise that without Poly, your English wouldn't be half of what it is.

When your internet bills are WAY too big.

When you

miss a date / won't go with your family to a trip / et cetera

because the thread X is just getting interesting / Suomithreadi is reaching it's thousanth post / et cetera.

Without Poly my English would be far better. I find myself spelling "crazy" with a 'k' for example; damn that kitty.

Foreigners bad spelling doesn't help either.

... you notice that your post count has mysteriously gotten smaller and you wonder why markos hasn't returned your PM investigating the matter yet (*cough*)

... you don't use the shift key to cut down on keystrokes, thus avoiding repetitive stress injuries

... you switch your ISP access plan to unlimited to accomodate your posting habits

you click on stories & diplomacy by accident switching between the OT and Apolyton/Community, and feeling disoriented when you read some of the topics. Then scream crud, wasted a refresh.
