I know that I like using quote on forums but I personally think that it is over used.
@xyz will be very inconvenient for me as a computer user because I'd have to scroll up the page, or go back a page or two, to find the poster referenced.

I too am bothered when some people quote the whole response instead of just the relevant couple of sentences, but I think that's a fairly rare occurrence.
