> LouWhen you choose to reply to a post, there are two options. The circle on the left is "your message only". The circle on the right says "include above post". The circle on the left is blacked in automatically, but you can instead choose to include the post by clicking on the circle to the right. Give it a try with this post. It is right above the "Go to form" button that you press to reply to a post.
And I'm afraid I didn't understand from your replies to Nikki why you prefer to paraphrase. A lot of people include the previous post, then put their own comments after each paragragh, or delete certain paragraphs and reply to the paragraph they wish to comment on. I suppose that still leaves some room for misinterpretation, but if you leave sentences intact, I'm guessing it helps a lot.
I used that option to answer your post, and as you see, it uses little symbols to represent what is the previous post.
