Does anyone even read these?

Anyone else see those threads with really lengthy OPs, and then the first poster quotes the entirety of it? Is this really necessary?
What of OP's with a lot of links, or one that needs to be updated frequently? Not only does it look tacky to see the old version of the OP posted, but it also makes it difficult to keep up with updated information, especially if you jump into the thread late and read a quote of an older OP.
My solution is in the title. The OP of the thread shouldn't have a quote button. The only way you will be able to quote any part of it is to manually highlight it and then type out the formatting yourself.
...
Or there can be a second box prompting you to confirm whether you want to quote the OP in its entirety before submitting. That way people wont do it accidentally or out of reflex.
Please discuss and thank you.

Please discuss and thank you. Doesn't really bother me. What I really hate or those users who quote it twice.
