I'm the same way Steve. In those cases I will still quote the previous post, but only the portion(s) that I want to specifically address, and delete the rest. I agree it's rather senseless (to me) to "quote" the same half dozen (normally) HUGE pictures in the post right above your reply. Sometimes though it gets confusing when replying to a post (especially long posts) if you don't quote any part of what you are replying to.
Simplifying a response is great. But a lot of people don't read every single post, or just skim through them and may not have a clue of what you (or I) are referring to. If you make it too simple, sometimes folks don't make the connection. I know what I was thinking when I wrote it, but no one else has a clue.
