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."

Salevaa almost got it againm but you would delete the part that you wrote, leaving only my comment, because it is my comment you are remarking on and not your desire for a gold star. Try again.

Almost, but you will notice that the person writing this

Meh - the other day I thought Rasta was Grix!
