But, there may be a very good reason for it.

Eg. If you posted something and I wanted to comment of what a good point it was, if I don't quote (at least parts) then if you, or someone else, posts another point then, my, 'Good point' may seem like it relates to the new point - get my point?

Now my pet hate (and this may be because I teach English) is people who don't bother to break their writing up into paragraphs. They just go from one point (or topic) to another without starting a new paragraph (or even a new sentence) because cheeseburgers are rarely as tasty as fried chicken. Now when you consider that the difference between a Canon 1D and a Nikon D90 is substantial is it any wonder that Julia Gillard is often compared to Brutus in her tactics at removing Rudd from office.
