Nested Quotes

I''m sure this has been noticed already, but quoting a post that itself quotes currently causes any text after the end of the innermost quote not to be "quote"ed. While it''s still possible in most cases to figure out what''s going on, it can be confusing at first glance. Possible solutions that''ve occurred to me are: implement nested quotes properly; quote to the outermost "/quote" (possible conflicts with multiple unnested quotes); remove quotes altogether (probably overreaction); not suppress "/quote"s that don''t end quotes.

A mere textual substitution of every [quote] and [/quote] with the corresponding html would work. The problem is that only the first occurrences are replaced.

quote:
Original post by foo
quote:
Original post by bar
I like pie
Me too
