Well, it helps people reference others' posts much faster. And it is considered good etiquette to do so.

I don't know where it's stated that it's a matter of etiquette, but the reason I didn't reference the individual was because I wanted to focus on the comment, which was obviously a slip, meant for Morphy rather that for Botvinnik, and not on the poster - and the poster himself would know his own words.

"5. Mikhail Botvinnik (He did really good, better then Lasker and Capablanca, but once again he was only good for 1 year, like fischer, then he quit)"
You need to read the Wiki on Botvinnik. Saying Botvinnik was "good for 1 year, like fischer. then he quit" ... is crazy-wrong. He's pretty much the opposite of Fischer, he kept losing the title and winning it back. He was world champ three times and held the title quite a few years in all. And many people believe his actual peak as a player came during WWII, when he could only play in Soviet Championships (which he dominated). He was also a pioneer in computer chess.
Sorry, i just went by what i saw in chessmetrics, it shows that his peak was stronger then most but it only lasted a year, and all the other years he was pretty low (not low but not as high as his peak)

Huh?
Fischer never had a higher elo rating than Kasparov.
That said, ratings have been inflated by about 100 points from Fischers time.
That shows like Rating strength or something.., how the engine compared there moves.. im not sure but as you can see Fischers highest was better then Kasparovs by 2 rating points, but kasparov managed to get many high rating points.
And it doesnt go by Official rating.. as you can see Stauton in the 1800s.. i dont think FIDE ever existed then.. so im pretty sure htey go by Performance or something.
Oh alright. Well that makes a lot of sense then.
Earlier you said that Fischer was only the best for one year. That's not true. He was only the world champion for a small period of time, that's correct, but I doubt very many people would argue that Fischer wasn't the strongest chess player in the world for a number of years before that.

True, but all other readers might not know whose words they were...For someone who writes such good blogs I'm amazed you don't do something as simple as state who you are quoting...
lol wut?
Do you have trouble with English comprehension, Mr. Kupov? :)
Very difficult....
Kasparov is the crew... without doubt...
I dont agree with Fischer = 2881 ELO... 2881 ???? !!!! When ? How ? Under which measure...
Dont forget another grandmasters like Tal, Korchnoi, Karpov, Lasker...
Capablanca was good in his age... I dont now how finding an equivalence...

Well I am from Canadia.
What're your opinion about last champions ? including women GM and the young Magnus Carlsen ?
One thing about best players list is there are some orders which you can't logically go against.
For example.
Karpov must go behind Kasparov. Spassky must go behind Fischer. Alekhine must go behind Capalanca. Lasker must go behind Capablanca... etc
Everyone must go behind Morphy.
lol

Calm down now Serbian...
