Ok here's a question? when someone replys to a question, then the next person just quotes what the previous person has just said, why do you do this? Its been bugging me for months! Is it just to emphasise it? or are people being funny or what, i dont get it? Thanks

It's just a dumbass thing that isn't funny at all, trying to show their superiority.

No, its just a way of saying that the post quoted is right. It isnt meant to be funny.
