Am I having a blonde moment (non gender specific of course)
When trying to use the quote button in relation to the last post on a topic, I'm not able to.
Is this the norm or am I missing something.

Normal. It to prevent quoting previous post, which is deemed unnecessary. 
(Unless you have Mod super powers that is  )

ISTR that the last post in any thread doesn't have a 'quote' button as you can reply directly to it. Only previous posts have the quote option. As you slide down the banister of life
may no splinters point your way

Many people repeat the last thing someone just said to you when in conversation. Am I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.
2016 Discovery 4 Landmark
2011 Mercedes Benz SL350 (R230)
1973 MG B GT V8 - 3.9L John Eales engine, 5 speed R380 gearbox, since 1975.
1959 MGA roadster - 1.9L Peter Burgess Engine - 5 speed gearbox
Past LRs - Multiple FFRs, Discos & a Series I - some petrol, some diesel,
none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.
There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

True, but it can be useful when replying to only part of the post(cutting away what not needed), especially if the post is quite long, and touching few subjects.

Pah! You need to be on a certain other forum... quite after quote. A post can be miles long due to the copying of previous comments
