IT’s really helpful especially to use italics or some kind of marker, especially if you’re reposting a lot of text, because I find myself starting to read a post, get a paragraph in and go dang, I’ve already read that. So you skip to the bottom to see the original content that’s been created but then there might be two or three snippets and it’s hard to find.

So, I guess I’m saying limit the amount you repost as well — just enough so people know what it’s about.

Yep. That can be really annoying, especially when you're following an interesting conversation where some poster continually does that throughout the thread.

Using some sort of mark to differentiate another person's words is also a show of respect. As a child, I was taught that that is one of the primary reasons for using quotation marks.
