This is "etiquette" used by many other forums. It can get annoying to get multiple long re-posts followed by very brief replies. It also helps if posters stick to the original topic, and not bring in irrelevant diversions.
Posts should flow in the same way as a verbal conversation - If someone makes a comment or asks a question, you don't need to repeat that question before replying?
