mosquitoman Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hello to all, I notice that when some memebers reply to a post they manage to quote only a specific sentence as oposed to quoting the complete original post, I have tried in vain to do this. Can someone let me in on the secret? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udon Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 One annoying trait here is , a lot members who are the 1st to reply to a post , quote the whole bloody post. This is NOT necessary, if you are the 1st person to reply. Rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rant over And worse when they are quotes within quotes within quotes and you have to scroll two pages down and find a one line response, or just a smiley.
