Hit reply with quote and then edit out what you don't want.

If you want to break in and respond in the middle of the quoted text them insert "/QUOTE" (inside square brackets - that means "end quote") and write your response.
If I put the square brackets in the computer will treat it as a real quote action.

Then to resume the quoted test insert "QUOTE" - again inside square brackets.

Make sure you leave th original QUOTE (again inside square brackets) at the start of their text
In your case it was QUOTE=yvan;2282111 (again inside square brackets)

eg (NB all the QUOTEs and /QUOTEs are inside square brackets
QUOTE
Their text
/QUOTE
Your text
QUOTE
More of their text
/QUOTE
More of your text

All the quoted text will end up displayed inside a box in Italics.
You should check to make sure you have inserted all the quotes and /quotes correctly otherwise your text and their text will get mixed up.

I too would like to understand this, perhaps a two day weekend workshop at a nice coastal holiday resort could be arranged for the instruction of the process involved? I reckon that’s how long it would take me to learn and remember it.

Prefer the back end of the week myself; less crowds/tourists/annoying children and it keeps the weekend free

Obviously we would need to have an extra day or two at the end for the slower members; by having the workshop at the back end of the week the slower learners could use the weekend to catch up.

Chief Tiff,

I appreciate you latching on the week-end at the end of the workshop. Count me in !!!

Dont you have a nice house on a river, that would suffice

I'm trying to get my head around what Bob has told us
