SY is having fun with the edit function - can't blame him, I started it. 
There are some silly sigs here, but have a look at other forums! We are a beacon of brevity of here. But that is because the short sig rule is enforced here. I like it.
Sure Waki, it ain't the worst thing on the forum, but there is so much of it! As Winter says, some education will help, but so will making the reply button easier to reach than the quote button.
But I'm old fashioned and a bandwidth conservative. Been on BBS, forums and the interweb since the 70s (yes, the seventies). Like folks who grew up in the depression era who hate to waste anything, I hate to waste bandwidth. Just an old fuddle-duddy, me.

Your avatar almost became J. Fred Muggs.
Anecdotes are evidence. They just aren't scientific proof.
Maybe over-use of the quote button, especially when repeating large pictures (like ugly sutures from one's latest surgery, e.g.), should merit a day in the sin bin. A sort of forum venial sin....
Like over-using ellipsis....

Perhaps the quote button could be moved to the right most position, and the quick reply button could be put where the quote button is, and be given a new graphic that says "REPLY"
