Uncle Martin Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 I hope you are all of the opinion that the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked because this one will appear simple to the point of stupidity. Could someone please tell me how to insert a quote into a reply? My posts may not always be intelligent, but I would like to know how to at least create the illusion. I'm a virtually computer illiterate old man, so please keep it simple and step by step. Six months ago I thought a mouse was something you caught in a trap. Quote

Good questions were ones I could answer.... Quote
