"Today's lesson will be: Reply Using Quote"

Good morning children,

Today's lessson is a very important one.
Using the "reply using quote" function is a good thing. But you must learn how to use it correctly, otherwise you create massive posts with maybe 1 or 2 lines of your own at the bottom.

This looks messy and marks you out as a fool.
It is common sense to "reply using quote", but it's so much easier on the eye if you delete the parts of the post not relevant.
It creates a puncy paragraph with information.

Quoting an entire post and merely adding "Yes" at the bottom is pointless and the domain of mitten-wearers.

Tomorrow's lesson will be
"Realising some posts are for comedic effect only and not to be taken seriously."

pop

No help indeed. :D

Remember everyone. I am +10 points on all of you.

Heard it through the Grapevine... damn good I am.

Heh.. with no help from Grix whats so ever.

What does this have to do with Goatys topic. Well nothing, but I know how to use the reply with quote feature so I am ok.

Are you calling me an idiot? Grrr! I HATE YOU! :)

*Note how TomUK demonstrated a good use of quoting the original message*

People just cannot take a joke anymore. It's been like this since Sept 11th, and ever since every post has had to be PS'd with a "no offence" on the bottom otherwise you get an earful.

no offence.....

SEE!!!!
