well, it depends on what you want. clicking the one at top gets you a QUOTE box, as opposed to clicking the one within a post, as I did here, which get you a box quoting the actual poster I'm replying to (i.e., you).

I'll bite: how do you get it to
l) say the part where you have "originally posted by.....)?
2) get that box within a box.

go back to my post that has "that box within a box."
click on the Quote button within that post.
enter your reply and submit. (the quoted matter is now long enough that you have a "scroll bar" on the right side of the edit box. use that to scroll down to the end of the quotes; i.e., until you see the flashing insertion point. that's where you want to type in your reply.)

I am told there are 9 pronunciations of the letters 'ough' in English, e.g., cough, though, doughty. Anyone know all nine?
off, as in cough
oh, as in though
ow, as in slough or plough
uff, as in enough or tough or slough (2)
oo, as in through
aw, as in nought or bought or brought
uh, as in borough
the schwa sound (phonetic upside down e) as in thoroughly
That's only eight I can think of without looking it up.

Of course, you don't have an accent. Everyone else does, but not you.

As far as I can tell, everyone here has the same accent as me.
Which is not necccesssarilly a good thing.
