[quote]It's not much of a hassle to simply click the left mouse button as you scroll.[/quote] I often do not use a mouse to scroll (which means I'll have to fetch it specifically for that purpose), or the mouse is a laptop touchpad or even just pointing stick ("TrackPoint" on ThinkPads, also the odd little nub-thing on some laptop keyboards) and hence not half as convenient for moving the pointer around, especially when not using said laptop on a hard surface. Using a poorly responding pointing stick in a moving car to actually point at things can be a bit unfortunate... As for what Captain said, then plenty of people make a point to only quote what was necessary for the reply, or the quote is the thing you have to read and other things are supplementary. (I also still think that we need quotes that don't send notifications; it seems like nonmetion quotes actually do it, after all...)
