I see some posters replying to two or more messages. At least that is how it looks because there are multiple quotes at the top of the reply.
How is that done?

Between the Good Post and Reply buttons, there is a +Quote button. You click on that button for the various posts you want to quote. Then, when writing your post, click on the Insert Quotes button on the right side of the Attach Files button, just under the text box and you get the list of the posts you want to quote, simple click on Quote messages.

Thanks! I think I've got it now! But all I did was push "Reply" to messge #1 above and then as my first entry in the reply I went up to message #2 and pushed "Reply" to that message as well.

And then wrote this reply.

Sometimes I think we try to make things too difficult. Or maybe learning to print ABCs in a Big Chief tablet didn't adequately prepare a person for digital logic.

Click QUOTE then REPLY on each one that you want to include. They'll all be added to the window at the bottom. Then type your message and post it.

Interesting; I always wondered how the heck that was done (multiple quotes).......good to know. Unfortunately I will probably never remember how to do it when I want to do it......

It's probably just as well if you don't because it can be like poking several wasp nests at once.🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Operators manuals seem to be a thing of the past.

When I bought my last two laptop computers - mac pros - neither came with an operator's manual. The salesman - they call them "geniuses" - at the Apple story seemed genuinely confused as to why someone would want a manual.

When I wouldn't accept that, he finally said, "everyone knows that if you need to find out how to do something you either go online and do a search, or ask someone".

And to me, that not only explained how information is conveyed these days, but it also explained why there is such a problem with misinformation.

ya....i always get a laugh when i hear someone ask for technical help at home depot or lowes electrical isles. some of the answers i hear send chills down my back.

they do make some good "electrical for dummy " books out there, that are quite informing. but no one even bothers to buy those. lets ask him...he works here. never mind that hes filling in from garden for the day.
