Multiple quoting

[Shoshin]

Hi!
How do I quote more than one paragraph from more than one person in the same comment?
Thanks!

Hello Ester,
you can click of several of the "QUOTE" button under the different postings in one thread (it is a bit confusing that the first click relocates you directly to the edit window),
and then go to the top of the thread and click on "Post Reply (X)", where the X reflects the number of postings, you clicked on QUOTE.
This should bring you to the edit window, with the different quoted blocks, where you can write in between or edit the blocks.

You somehow make me feel old and outdated and useful at the same time.
Careful, or I'll quote 80s usenet rules for right quoting and such

2.1 How much should I quote?
It is not necessary to quote the entire text of the person you respond to. A quoting should always and first of all clarify the context, enabling the reader to understand the flow of the thread. A quoting is not ment to re-post the previous article.
In general, it is completely sufficient to only leave that part of the message to which one refers. People reading the thread either know the context of the discussion or are able to find the context by using the References to read the entire thread. In order to fully understand the message it is quite often necessary to read the previous articles anyway, since one message leads to another and sometimes can only be understood when read in context.
By quoting only the necessary parts, the reading-flow is simplified a lot, especially with respect to long articles. Big quotations often make it more difficult to find the actual new text. It is not uncommon that people do not even read the entire article - who wants to read the entire text *again* in search of something new?
On the other hand, the quotation should not be so short that it is unclear to what the author is referring to, or so that it may even appear in a totally different light.

Thanks so much! I'm sorry I didn't thank you earlier. I have had serious technical problems with the caravan we live in that had been making my life kind of "too exciting" and I haven't dedicated as much time to the forum as I had liked.
Now almost everything is fixed and my life back to normal.
