quoting another post

[tomaraya]

i would just like to know a few things in relation to quoting other posts.

firstly,how do you isolate one paragraph as opposed to quoting the entire post.

secondly, how do you quote from more than one post.

thanking you in anticipation.

I hope no one tells you, because I am sick of seeing one post going for 2 pages, because someone is quoting everything someone else posts & then replying with a couple of words, to each sentence of the quote.

Boring as, I think they do it, becuase they think the bigger reply makes them look more intelligent.

I'm too stupid to know.

Or maybe they simply wish to reply clearly and directly to individual points without having to reply with one long confusing slab paragraph in which every sentence starts with "In regards to..." or "Where you say..."
