Which is why the topic usually has a extensive history of who posted what and when already...
In real life conversations don't sound like...
For a good reason.

...Most of the time one post is not enough to sum up an entire conversation...
Are you suggesting that all quotes are pointless? Even the first "example" of a quote in real life didn't make sense, so it appears that you are. Posting in a forum is quite different from real life. Conversations here are not direct, and there can be other people's posts between a post and it's reply.
As has been said previously in this thread, quotes can help give a context for your post, as it clarifies what exactly you are replying to. In some cases (as in this current post) it is useful to have more than one quote, to make it clear what exactly the context of the post is. Quote pyramids can, on occasion, be annoying, but I rarely see them get out of hand, so I do not see a need for change.
Being able quote the last post would be useful, but it wouldn't help much. Most of the time, you can shorten the post again, to respond to a specific section, so it wouldn't save a great deal of time. I'd much rather time be spent on other improvements/additions to B.net.Oh yes quite.
I completely agree!
I see your point. But now you only have to read the last post. From now on, I propose everyone must quote everything posted immediately above them...
