Am I right in thinking that you are using trimmed quotes with inline
responses, while saying that including quotes is secondary to the response?
Come on.

It's clear that having a quote when you're responding to something in

discussion intently and those less familiar with what is happening.

But "not interested in what's easier for you" says a lot, anyway.

It's called "memory".
