When I quote post #2 I get this:
I should get this:
I should get this:
I'm not sure you're correct.
When I now quote post #5 I get my bit appearing, but not yours, and you are not on my ignore list.
What do you see if you quote #5?
What do you see if you quote #5?
Just yours, not mine. What you see above is what I get.
If this is different to a result that you would expect, perhaps it's something to do with our personal settings?
Aaah. now quoting number 7, I only get mine, not yours.
Perhaps it's something to do with preventing excessive quoting.
The other day I had enormous problems with multi-quote, there was no predicting where the next quote would appear, or how much of the nested quotes would be included.
This is still happening, and it is still a PITA.
OK - so here is a post to which I want to reply:
When I quote it I see this:
The context of every single part of PBC's post has been stripped out. I don't necessarily want to keep the things I said to which he was replying in my reply, but I really do need to see them in order to keep the flow of the discussion.
This is a mess - you really need to fix it.

And then you encounter the delightful way the site replicates in-progress replies from one window to another, but not well enough to be of any use, just another unhelpful and annoying bit of behaviour...
We could always use that as an explanation for when we go really awry and say soz, it was a response in progress to another, that I didn't realise had replicated in the same window. 
In fact, we could have some fun with that.
I do fully agree though. It's almost completely unpredictable.

No - it is not unpredictable.
I can confidently predict that it will work like the proverbial pile of poo.
