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."
