I do not see the point in quoting a quote within a quote......etc. Plus most people mess it up and their reply is lost within the quote so it looks like it just a bunch of quotes within a quote.

If you quote the specific question or point to which you are responding, it makes it much easier for the reader to make the connection between the original comment and the response. This is particularly true when a thread spays into several strands of conversation or when addressing a specific remark in a single post that's several paragraphs long, but it's helpful even when threads grow to a few relatively short posts.
