I have noticed that several posters here put text quotes from other sources (books, web) in
brackets, while I think these should be reserved for quoting other posters on a given thread.
It is extremely annoying to have to read this small-print when someone quotes a book etc. Makes me almost not want to read that quote, this is how cumbersome that is.
Could we please, please, please all agree to quote such sources in italics, instead of in

(Of course, quoting other posters in such brackets is the natural thing to do from the "quote" function, and you can always re-read the bigger text from the quote post, so I have no quarrels with that.)
Thank you for your consideration
