I mean if I wanted to quote Geoff W above, I can press the quote button and do this:



Or I can choose to edit it PRIOR to pressing "Submit Reply" and quote only what is required, ie:



However in most cases it is never generally necessary to quote the person who appears directly above your post when read by others.

Personally, I think the "Reply with Quote" button should be removed and users manually insert anything they believe need to be quoted.

We have a great board and I believe it's professional appearance is something we should all strive to preserve.

Now go on, someone quote this entire post........
Done. Didn't wanna let ya down Craig But it seems the 'quote' function did some moderating of its own.
