[How to quote a part (or all) of someone's post]

Thanks for the explanation.. glad i found thispost 

...helps to enable reference someones post instead of having to read everything.

A <snip> quote was better in ye ol days but i guess folk haven't the time or inclination these times (-:

I'll likely read a post that someones made an effort to selectively quote rather than the @link.  But hey I'm old and i will die soon and the world will have to deal with that
