Actually, with a little bit of effort, you _can too_ quote from a closed thread. Like this:

> [@How do I keep IE from automatically chenging the text size?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-do-i-keep-ie-from-automatically-chenging-the-text-size/143703/26):
>
> As it happens, I am the fucking hall monitor. If you don’t want help, don’t ask. You insult another user and you’re done here. That is not how we do things here.
> 
> So knock it off.

ETA: Okay, I see a minor glitch there. In **manhattan** ’s original post, the word _I_ is italicized in “_I_ am the fucking hall monitor” and that little font change got lost. Still, basically, you can do it. Who’da thunk it?
