What is the purpose of the word "QUOTE"

[Arthur Little]

It is because each one has different views on everything Cheers!

Exactly! That's about IT in a nut[shell], (Shelley, isn't it? ... your christian name, I mean!) Forgive my sense of humour - just couldn't resist the temptation.

Hi Arthur,
If you delete everything you don't want to quote that appears after the closing square bracket at the beginning of the post and the opening square bracket at the end of the post you wish to quote and leave only the part you wish to quote within those brackets, then you will only quote the part you want to quote.

If for instance you highlighted and deleted everything in your post that I have highlighted in BOLD letters, you would end up with a quote that looks like the one below.

Cheers,
Iain.

I shall certainly bear all that in mind for future reference; ta very much, Iain.

Cheers mate,
Arthur
