Normally, you are completely correct, however in the particular forum in question, since well over half of the users participate in the forum by email, and are unable to have any context from a reply UNLESS there is at least some quoting, the reply button without quotes is disabled, and all replies automatically get quotes.

If no quote-length limit is imposed a linear lengthening happens.

Message length rapidly gets out-of-control for the web users, making it difficult for them to read the web pages.

In prior incarnations of the forum, where we were using something other than FUDforum, we implemented a routine we called "Otto Von Schnipp" which removed any quote parts with depth > 1. (anything with >> prepending)
