1. Should we install a plugin to hide more than X lines of quoted text?

Install it and limit it to 15 lines

Don't install it. If someone quotes something, no matter how long, I always want to be able to read it all without having to click "more"

I saw this plugin today that seemed like a potentially good idea.
What is does it hide anything more than X lines of quoted text under a "more" link that can be clicked to display the rest by the reader.
Most quoted text is reasonably sized, so this plugin wouldn't affect it, as we'd choose to always display several lines by default (exact number to be determined). But in cases where someone quotes 40 lines of text, some of it would be hidden.
