@Mame,
It takes at least 2 people. One quotes the entire post he replies to. The next quotes that entire post when making a new reply, the other guy quotes that entire post when he replies, and so on.

@Region Philbis,
Hell, once we set out to see how many quote boxes one could accumulate--i think it was 28, but i no longer remember for sure.

I have a quote-related question, and I'd be grateful if someone could answer it.

Some people, while responding to other's posts, quote something like this:

spidergal wrote:
Quote:


Name of the poster is followed by the word wrote and both the words are in bold. This attribution is followed by the quote box which includes the portion of text which they're replying to.

How do people do that? I've always been intrigued.

@Cyracuz,
Exactly, thanks Cyracuz!

Though I've no idea what happened to my previous post. I don't understand why the text is enclosed in a quote box. I didn't even touch the quote function.
