If so, just copy, paste, highlight with mouse, and hit the quote tab above.

You can even open a couple threads in different windows, hit the "quote" reply button in each of the windows/threads you want to combine, then...

Pick the 'primary' window/thread you want your response to show in, edit out the stuff you're not "quoting", and type your response there as usual, then...

Go to each of the other windows, edit out the stuff you're not "quoting", type your response there as usual, BUT when finished, hit Ctrl-A to highlight it all, then hit Ctrl-X to copy/delete it (you will be left with a blank response-box on that thread/window), close that window, and go back to your first 'primary' one. Position your cursor in the response box above or below your previous work as appropriate, then hit Ctrl-V and paste that second response/quote there.

Repeat for each of the thread/windows you opened, always going back to paste it in that first 'primary' response box. When you are done, click "submit" and it will all post there...

Actually, in the screen in which you're composing your response, if you look below each previous response has a quote button on the upper right corner of that response. Click on that button and the

Use the "Preview" button to make sure your "quotes" are still intact and properly separated.

AND you can ID each person you are quoting by adding ="username" immediately after the word quote in the first bracket...

I did this with my kids.

Now I'm paying for all their missions as they continue to orbit.

The same issue my father-in-law had. My wife described the time she asked him about building a sand castle and he'd gone into a doctorial dissertation on the cohesive requirements of "sand" based on the amount and quality of the water, the amount of contaminants in the sand. She's no dummy, but felt a little overwhelmed as a 6 year old! Unfortunately, his two younger children couldn't keep up... and yep, they're still in orbit. Oh yea, he was a ceramic engineer, I think it's an occupational hazard! I once asked a petroleum engineer about how you make gasoline out of asphalt grade crude oil! His convoluted answer put my weak head into a spin for sure!
