Ontological Disproof of God

Cool Have you clicked 'deselect'? Since that old post is still quoted above, it looks like you haven't. You really do need to do that now, and any time in the future when you press "Reply" and see an old post that you're not replying to being quoted, also do it then, because that will indicate that you've accidentally pressed the "Quote" button.

There's also something else you need to know about, along similar lines. Like I said, if it says 'author Wrote:' at the top of any quote that it means it will alert the user in question. There's a function of the site that basically concatenates (joins together) posts if they happen too close together in time... I think it's within two hours or something. It's to stop people spamming a thread with many posts in a row; what it does in that situation is adds them to the end of the previous post, with a long horizontal line separating them. So if this has happened then though you may have posted say ten individual replies, they'll all show in one single post, with each one separated by a horizontal line. So given that concatenation effect, if you then reply to such a post, you are in fact replying to several posts in one... which means that even it you are no longer suffering from the multiquote problem, you may still be quoting people needlessly, and thus alerting them. The only way around that is to actually edit the post to remove the quotes you don't want, as I've done here in my reply to you. But we can work on that... let's first get the multiquote problem sorted

ejmay, You are absolutely correct, I forgot to deselect, even after you just now have cautioned me.  Let me tell you something which may help members to understand a bit more about all these mistakes.  I live in an intensely agricultural remote area in Kentucky, USA.  I put a little Ivory tower at the very top of a tall hill which I own, and, on July 16, I was up there, reading, writing, and just hanging-out, when, one of these enormous oversize tractors came within just a few feet of my building, spraying what I thought to be fertilizer, however, it turned out to be Roundup.  Roundup is a horrid cocktail of multiple poisons.  The precipitate overspray burned my lungs, and made them sore, however, I noticed immediately that it spaced-me-out, slowed my mental responses, hurt my cognitive function; now, some time later, my lungs are not burning, the coughing is clearing up, however, I am still somewhat, a little, spaced-out, and, being tired, from all the stress joining this forum has induced, I am making mistakes, very sorry, I do apologize, and, I so do appreciate your noble assistance, emjay, you are a deeply good human being. Negatio.

It looks like you've forgotten again You need to do it before you post your next post... we just need to see if that solves the problem before we can move on. If not for the people, think of the database ie it's absolutely filled at the moment with redundant posts because of this thread, and every single time you post again, you're adding to that redundancy and quoting (and thus alerting) more people than you need to, so it's getting annoying for them.
