quade 3 #10 October 20, 2005 There are times when it makes sense, but 99% of the time it would be FAR better to just copy and paste the relevant parts. IF you're addressing more than a couple of parts, then just copy and paste those.

Muenkel 0 #21 October 20, 2005 I agree, it is a pain in the arse. As the reader, I usually just scroll to the end and by the time I read the actual reply, I forget what they are replying to. OTOH, I am 'cut and paste' retarded. How do you copy multiple sentences from someone's posts that you wish to reply to and seperate them? Do you copy the whole post and then delete the parts you don't want and use multiple *** commands? Is there a shortcut to this method? _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
