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'. ::)

Now was that for me or Snipze? Maybe worth using a quote to save confusion.

So do I, but this is what I mean by saving time, ie. you don't have to spend time deleting.
