And how do I take out parts of the quotes I don't need in a long post? (that was a tongue twister clown.gif )
I can't seem to get it right. Don't know why. Can you give me an example?
Thank you

Just delete what you don't want. If there are multiple nested quotes - be very careful. The key is ALWAYS make sure when you delete an open tag you delete the corresponding close tag.

A good tip is to count the open and close tags after you finish editing - if they are not equal you goofed...

I'm talking about many nested quotes. I think I delete the open and close tags. Let's see what I did wrong.
Ok, TGR fixed it for me.
I'd like to see the same example as you showed before. Can you?

Now I will delete all the inner quotes - leaving just your last question. I will work my way inside out matching up open with close tags as I edit the post. In this case my "Pinchas" quote includes all the inner quotes - so just delete the whole thing...

and voilą...
