One could argue that evolution suggests we’re not idiots, but I would say, “Well, no. Evolution just makes sure we’re not blithering idiots."

I am having trouble testing on my own. I think, that what it does, is cut out a quote from the previous post. You know how sometimes you see a quote within a quote within a quote, if you are following a conversation. This drops out the previous quote, and just quotes the post you are replying too.

Someone reply to me, leaving the quote button alone, and then the next person try it. There should be two quotes in the first one, and then just one in the second.

We may not have it enabled. We may be on space saving mode. I can only get the last quote, not a series of them. This saves people from quoting themselves over and over and racking up posts, and using up space.

I'll keep checking. Anyone else able to get two people's quotes on one reply? I have pondered this many times, but there are so many features in this forum that we don't use yet, I just figured it was one of them.

Darn. You're good, James.
