Feature suggestion on quotes

[Jumpin]

This could just be me, but I find I'm not a big fan of the giant open quote response tables. Sometimes I try to add "spoiler" tags to minimize/collapse them so people don't have to skip down past a long quote of a post they just read above, just to read my silly little 1-3 line quip. But, I end up mangling the post beyond repair (1 part due to auto-select, and another part due to my lack of competency when dealing with that!).

PROPOSED SOLUTION

A post longer than 6 lines will collapse everything below that line, with the text "click to expand..." at the bottom in centre-justified colour-coded font that will expand the whole quote when clicked.

Click to expand...

Perhaps tighten the "Click to expand" closer to the dimming text, maybe even overlapping a little. And the dimming text, instead of a flat grey, can have a gradient. When expanded, the post can be seen in full. And imagine the post frame is tighter at the bottom as well.
