Maybe it needs to be dynamic and be dependent upon how long the post is. Anything under X words is posted in entirety anything over X and it only shows the first Y lines?
If we do it this way, then we should apply the sizing criteria when the new post containing the quote is saved, so a long post that is quoted but then edited before the new post is submitted may not have to be cut down.
Example: original post is X plus 2,000 -- would need to be cut if quoted in full. But if the original is edited down in the new quote to less than X lines (or words or whatever is used) -- no cutting.
This seems to accommodate the different concerns very nicely: big posts are not quoted in full (although are expandable by the reader), and posts that are edited for length are not cut back if they stay within the limit. Make the limit large enough for a moderate post or a reasonably edited post, and smaller than a big post, and it solves the problem. At least it seems to.

I would not always have the same size, for example if the size of the quote is smaller than the line limit (as in the image above), I would make the scroll box only large enough to contain the quoted lines, to avoid a lot of blank lines.
But if the size of the quoted lines is greater than the limit, then a scroll box of size equal to the limit, and then the scroll bar to let you see more, is a good solution.
Should be way less coding and easy for the users too.

There is some interesting behavior on Safari via the iPad. The User names are not showing up correctly in the post window. It started happening yesterday.
