I'm only bothered by nested quotes when it's more than 5 layers deep.
But all the bannage in this thread makes me laff

The lack of understanding amazes me.
I hope that you are thanking me for the 1 WK vacation that you just earned.

Meh... seems kind of lame to be banning for doing the nested quotes in this thread. That was obviously going to happen due to the OP. Anytime anyone posts a thread saying "stop doing X", people always respond with X. Yet I've never seen anyone banned for it before. Just lock thread if you don't want to nested quotes.
Agreed, and if you're going to ban people for reacting as expected, poster should get a ban equal to all the bans in the thread combined.

Yes, some forum software does just that.Originally posted by: DonVito
Doesn't some forum software automatically limit nested quotes to the message quoted? I always edit out the extraneous nested quotes, but I don't begrudge people who don't unless it gets ridiculous.

what would stink is if someone didn't read this thread especially the original post and just nested quotes like is done normally in every other thread.

I've been away from ATOT for quite a few months. One thing I've noticed A LOT of is quoting without "cleaning" up before making the post. Is it the new "quick reply" tool that is making people lazy? I've never seen such ridiculous quoting in my whole Intarweb Forum-lurker career:

And that's not the worst of it! This was just a quickie example I parsed. So just a reminder to all -- can we clean up the quotes before we make our post official? No need to quote 10 or 15 layers deep.
Okay, I'm done now.

I admit they are obnoxious at times... especially when theres like a string of 20...
but occasionally it is necessary for 4-5 nested quotes... provided none of them have "written a book"
There are two key words that you apparently have overlooked.
One is bolded above in your post.
The other is what I highlighted (just for you) in your quote of the OP.
