Yes. If you quote the _entirety_ of the last post just before your own, it will delete the quote. Here is one of a number of discussions about that feature on this board:

I get the idea, but when I quote a previous post, it is always a very short little question or statement I am responding to. Is it possible to turn off that “system edit” it does when we quote the entire previous post?

Note that it **will** show me quoting you in this post because I didn’t quote the entirety of your post.
