I am hardly the person to give suggestions about computing--owning a Mac which clearly is powered by Imps and Sprites--I can suggest this:

1. Do not rely on the "Quote" button. It quoted everything. You can use it to have the previous post in its entirety and then "edit" it down.
2. You can use as many "quote" functions as you want. Using a "(" in replace of brackets here is a lesson:
_______

Clearly from your argument you prefer the company of the unspeakable denizens that infest your nethers whereas, as noted by BAC

to continue to claim a Marxist interpetation regarding licen propagation is fallacious.
_______

If you want to quote the whole thing you would place a (quote)at the beginning and a (/quote) at the end.

If you just wanted to quote "the quote" you would place the constructs around the "I like meat!".

Anyways, a simpler way is if you see some poster has done something "neat" you can hit the quote button to see the codes he used such as:

--J.D.

Thanks for the advice on editing a quote.

Never thought of just quoting the whole thing to start with and editing it later. Seems a little time consuming, but that will work fine for starters.

There must be a lot of different ways to edit quotes though, due to the variety of ways they end up edited visually on the forum.

The Nose

The questions raised in the first post gave me trouble thirty years ago when I was a teenage Christian. The eternal fates of billions of souls depend on the answers; and--out of the hundreds of chapters in the Bible--all I could ever find was two measly verses: Romans 1 verses 19-20. (You can find an online Bible with Google.) My summary is that "all men can see the evidence of God in nature, but if they refuse to see it then they have no excuse." Now any fairminded person would call that a stretch. If a Greek (mentioned earlier in the same chapter) sees a lightning bolt, how is he supposed to know that proves the existence of Yahweh/Jehovah and not the existence of Zeus? And we know how Jehovah would react if he caught you worshipping Zeus or Baal or whoever! And finally, these two verses fail to answer the original poster's second question about the necessity of knowing Jesus (see John 14:6).
