No offense, but I find your style of quoting obnoxious and irritating. Italic text is harder to read than plaintext, and you tend to underquote text making it hard to follow the context (and because your style doesn't include links to the full text, recovering the full context is made very difficult), the framing provided by visual elements of the standard quoting enhance readability, meaning yours are harder to read, and the deviation from uniform standards means that every time someone comes across one of your posts, they have to take time figuring out exactly what you're doing with your quoting. You make things harder on the rest of us just because of a mere preference. You're like a driver going the wrong way down a one-way street solely because, "he likes it that way."

To me the annoyance is on the level reserved for someone who drives at a cautious 20 mph below the speed limit. But quote tags would really help. (Believe me no one would complain if they didn't think you might have content worth reading.)
