I'd like to see a "reply include" function, so I don't have to manually copy and paste, then put in the "italics" tags, then the paragraph tags.

I don't think that a full "reply include" thing is necessary. Right now, the post parser is too strict on detecting html. Once a tag is discovered, it defaults to full html and that squashes paragraphs together. The parser should preserve the tags AND preserve the paragraphing. That way, all you have to put the "i" tags around the included part that you want to comment on. Other BBS software does this so I don't think it's that big of a deal. Otherwise, I like FR's software. It's simple, fast, and retains links to the post being replied to.
