Multi quote is a valuable tool to a user that is properly using the tools provided to them. If you come into an area with multiple posts of the same situation or very similar its a nice feature to have.
News tip.. I think this is a feature we can live without.
Multi-quote serves as an educational tool in the Forums: it can high lite a reasoned argument very quickly and create consensus with very little effort on the part of the poster............seasoned forum users will miss this tool, especially in the developers forums...................the news link, not so much................ *edit: went back in for a second look at the skin: fresh looking, easier to read, punchy + vivid feel to it, easy on the eyes!........thnx for this opportunity to weigh in.
