I'm already reading the page. I don't need a pull quote to repeat what I just read. Pull quotes are for magazine layouts when you're flipping through pages. Pull quotes on a web article is a clear sign that the editor is stuck in print media. I'm not 'flipping' through web pages like a magazine, so their usage is a bit passé. Perhaps let's not listen to what the writers like and listen to what readers like. I'm pretty sure the designers aren't making grammar suggestions to the writers, so let's let the designers focus on what they know best: readability and usability.
