I have tried to acquaint myself with the quote system. I confess I don't properly understand it. If I don't want everything said in the post I am replying to quoted, how do I delete the unwanted quotes without messing up the quote boxes? I am not trying to suppress what other have said, I am simply trying to avoid an unnecessarily long post containing something I am not replying to.
It's really not too hard, but it can seem a little daunting if you're not used to it. There's a button in the lower right of every post labelled "Reply". Clicking that will give you a reply box containing the post you're replying to. What you want to do is make sure the parts you want are contained between quote tags:
Code:
[quote]like this[/quote]
Try hitting reply to this to see how I've split your post.

No problem; glad to be of some help.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
