Thx again for any input and for your time and effort- it truly isn't taken for granted. And note- my wife just lovingly suggested I keep my posts shorter- hard for us long-winded types- I'll keep working on it- thx for your patience- lol
Gideon, as you read a post you wish to quote from, in the bottom right corner is a "QUOTE" button. Press on it and the text from that post will appear inside quotes. You can then edit what you wish to quote. I find it helpful to leave some context and then bold the specific comment what I wish to address, like I did with your post just now. Everything inside the [quote] will appear boxed.

Then type your own comments below the quotes. They will not appear in a box. When finished, select the "Preview Post" button to check your work, and then the "Submit Reply" button to finish.

The software provides a few hours to edit your own posts, which is often helpful.
