Forum etiquette - double-posting vs separating ideas?

[Reinha]

Yea, except that's a pain because then the full version will get locked in to my mobile Chrome until I log out and log back in. It's a really inconvenient way to quote a post because there's no native way to revert back to the mobile site once you click that option.

True, it's inconvenient if you prefer the mobile version. I always try to stay on the full version and didn't realize other people might not like it.

Well this was a bit off topic so I'll reply to the OP as well. As a reader I prefer when people post separate ideas and replies into their own paragraphs of the same post and underneath the quote(s) they are replying to. It's much easier to scroll past a big post with a good structure than to go a page forward when I want so see other people's posts. Also, I don't see how snipping is for the reader's convenience when I have to open a new tab to see what is being replied to instead of just reading it there. It's purely for the writer's convenience because they don't want to go through the effort to take out the irrelevant parts of a long quote or to edit on mobile.

As long as you don't edit posts in order to reply to something later in the thread, you're good in my book. Nothing disrupts a conversation flow more than someone replying in a previous post that has already been replied to. The person you're talking to will likely have no clue that you responded to them, and people who read it all after the fact have to piece together the conversation order.

This is probably done when people run out of daily posts and don't want to dig up the conversation the next day. Although I dislike the post limit, it's probably working as intended in the cases when people want to get the last word in and end up editing their posts.
