Yes, there are size limits, but you're a long way off reaching even 10 k by quoting one message. The original point was that you didn't quote even one message, so it was impossible to tell to what you were actually replying.
As a general rule, people should include at least part of a previous message if replying so readers have some context. However, try to trim unnecessary text from replies if they are getting big. I tend to only quote what is required to respond to the message (as I have done for this message), but I understand that some people don't like this method for whatever reason. Also, there are cases where it is easier to just leave the message below your reply. Even so, posts which quote more than 1 or 2 entire messages are unnecessarily long and should be trimmed.
