"Did you know how to use the quote mark (") to quote mulitple postings before you began reading this thread? Y or N."
The results could be interesting, or at least I think so! The Villages Florida

So what I do is I copy and paste the beginning brackets opening, and the ending quote brackets to the part, or parts, of the quote I want.

LOL; OK, I get it, I'll have to try it. But, what I was really asking about was when people just take parts of one very long thread and link to a couple of disconnected paragraphs or sentences in that one post.

You're talking about listing two distinct posters quotes at the head of your new post so that you may reply to both at once. Right?
I didn't know how to do this either, and I thank you, but it wasn't what i was asking about.
