Another one that is annoying is when they reply to someone who quoted someone else, and include both quotes... particularly when the first quote was not relevant to their response.
Yes, and I personally think it would be great if more people would actually do this. At least when a "full quote" would be extremely long.
When quoting someone, you can also highlight just the test you want to quote, without quoting their full comment. This only works when clicking post reply first, and then quoting someone from below the text box, but it's a nice feature. It is what I tend to do when replying to the comments my stories have gotten, and it lets me reply to many different comments in one post.

A couple resources you might find helpful for reference purposes:
But, I digress...The first factor I mentioned, "self-awareness," or just "awareness" in general, relates to the point above because some people are simply unaware of how annoying it can be, and it genuinely doesn't occur to them that readers could be averse or "put off" by such offenses as needlessly long quotes or excessive reply chains! Kind of like the "smelly guy" at the sci-fi or comic book convention, casually radiating B.O. about the premises yet completely oblivious to both his "olfactory terrorism" and the nasally-traumatized "collateral damage," if you will...
...these textual annoyances may not even "register" for some people, as genuine issues in need of improvement! Just think of those lengthy ongoing email conversations, replies to replies to replies, where text from MUCH earlier in the exchange is still there, but now pushed sooooo far to the right like:

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > Esteemed Lefanto,

You get the idea, though, I presume? Anyhow, once the "awareness" problem is resolved, people need to be shown a "better way" -- or even better yet, multiple better ways in the plural, opening them up to a range of options and possibilities to choose from; this is especially important because it allows flexibility and adaptability, making different choices in different contexts, depending on the particular situation or scenario.
