How do you add several quotes to a post?

ex. I start a topic and several people respond with different statements. Later on, I want to comment on everyones statement “one by one” but I also want to post each persons statement as a quote before I answer it. How do I do that on this forum?

Another way is to right-click on the “reply” button of each additonal post and select “open in new window”. You can then copy the quoted text from there into your response.
