I know what you mean. It can seem like personal shelf space.

I post music, and I don't want to leave a thoughtful comment unacknowledged, but when I see what can happen in the "latest posts" feed I sometimes cringe, when what's scolling by is oodles of quoted praise followed by short thank you notes from the same musician.

I include myself among those thankers, so this is not to point a finger at anyone in particular! It feels like a dilemma sometimes, to reply or not to reply.

The private message idea is good. It's also always good (said the old school USENET poster) to trim quoted material down to just what is actually being replied to.
