New rule regarding Quotes

PostBy: Richard S. On: Sun Aug 17, 2008 4:55 am

This has been added to the rules section:

Do not add your own text inside a quote box. Your own replies must appear outside of the quote box. Edits to another members posts within a quote box are limited to shortening it such as if you wanted to address a specific sentence. Edits to other members post such as changing words or taking the original post out of context is not allowed


Sorry to single you out BugsyR regarding this and you are not the only one I've seen do this but posts like this will no longer be allowed: Why Won't Sen. McCain Support Our Troops?

Keep your own text outside of the quote box when replying to someone. If you want to quote individual sentences there is much easier method for doing this anyway: Using the Quote Botton, Special Tip

Using the method linked to above it keeps everything clear and concise.

No problem. It gave you a great example to use as to what not to do. Sorry for my error.
