If I see a topic, a line, a thread, a posting, whatever you wish to call it and I want to post a response, I still don't seem to get it. If I click on the line I see the registrant's message in the box below my screen name. Do I erase all of that and then use that box (this box) to type my response? I do know that if you wish to respond to someone personally you can do so only if there is a hyperlink for their screen name, right? Gosh, I feel kind of foolish but I just don't seem to find the answer or feel that I am doing it correctly. Thanks to anyone, seriously!!

Larry, you can either add your message before or after their message (as I am doing here); or to save space and eliminate redundancy, you can first delete their message, then write yours in the box. If you read other messages you might also see that some folks write in their answers or opinions in reference to a certain paragraph or question in the posting--by inserting parts of their message after a specific sentence or paragraph and delete the rest of the previous message. The previous message will have > before it. Shellie

So that's what I mean about using just part of the previous message. If you break up previous messages to respond, you may have to add back a > before their parts. Clear?

I have deleted your message and am writing my response. So yes, I have cleared the box before (or deleted their message after I have written mine.)
