I've deliberately misspelled the first 'quote' there, so it doesn't come out as:

The reason the quote button isn't there is to prevent the inevitable abuse that will result - as shown above...

Like what? FWIW I agree completely. Having to type it in manually takes some effort and makes you think twice. This results in useful quotes, not just using a quote button instead of a reply button.
