For this reason I would see it as an improvement if the heading of the quote included the original post number. For example preceding the name of the poster: [quoteORIGINAL126:name
 
Do you or do you not want to have that post number included in the quote?

Copy n' past that link inside your response, and it makes it much easier to backtrack through long threads.

What you're asking for is unnecessary.  If you click on the (in reply to XXXXX) in the lower right hand corner of the post you're reading, you'll be taken to the post the quote originated from.

This poll then is superfluous. Please ignore this thread.
