Sorry. I merely intended to reply to a specific subject within the quote; this person took up more than one subject in that quote, so I needed to give two separate answers. Can you suggest a better way to do it?
Break up the quote into separate boxes?
you can snip/bold contents within the quote (add a comment external to the quote box that states you did so) - you should not ADD comments/text within a quote box.
Very interesting problem.
No, I have no idea.
I dunno; it seems like the best thing he’s ever posted here. Say what you will, he’s got a sense of humor!
The way everyone else somehow manages to?
Thanks, Simster; what’s the procedure? I never tried that. 
Thank you, Trinopus; I think it’s better this way.
If I didn’t believe he actually thinks those statements are ‘facts’ - then sure - but given so many other ‘facts’ he posts - its impossible to know the difference.
Should we assume from now on that evertyhing he posts is a form of humor/sarcasm? if so, that will make things much easier.
seriously? You can figure out how to add text within a quote box, but you cant figure out how to remove it or highlight and hit the little “B” in the box above and say “snipped/bolded by me” outside the box?
practice a bit - maybe post something in ATMB and ask for help there.
so, from now on, we will take EVERYTHING you say as an attempt at humor and only compliment you on its affect on our collevtive funny bones.
See - dougie_monty made a joke! See how pwecious he is!
Here’s the method I’ve decided works best for me:
-
I copy the entire post that I’m quoting to my clipboard.
-
I paste it into the edit field. Like this:
- I decide which part I want to respond to first, and I delete everything within the quote tags that isn’t a part of that. Like so:
- I post my response to that part. Like so:
I’m sure simster welcomes you (not to put words into his mouth).
- I paste the entire post again, and select for a different part I’d like to respond to. Like so:
- I respond to that part. Like so:
What do you mean what’s the procedure? You’re reading one now! (;))
Repeat as necessary.
Note: it’s a good idea to preview before you submit, to avoid coding errors.
Good luck!
To Simster and Kaylasdad: Thanks…I’ll try it, and I think it’ll take some practice…
Now if I understand you aright, “clipboard” is a feature of Windows rather than of the Internet server…? (OK, it may be something I am already familiar with from Word, Cut and Paste and all…) 
In an Archie comic, Archie brought a rather salty sea parrot to school. Very outspoken bird. Betty or Veronica called him “precious,” and he squawked, “The last swab what called me ‘precious,’ got deep-sixed off Barbados!” Feisty critter. Oh well…You want wit, I can deliver. Aye aye, Sir.
No, you can’t - and you should quit trying.
Your jokes are bad, and you should feel bad.
I’m not joking.
It almost feels like a completely tone-deaf person, after having the concept of “music” explained to them, attempting to sing. They may mimic some things they understand to be “musical” but would never actually get it right.
In case it wasn’t clear, my reply wasn’t directed at you.
