My advice is as follows:

1) Click on the "Quote" button on the lower right of a post. You will see the following text in your message box ([] replaced by <> to show it this way):

<QUOTE=Lynn Eades;231200>Hanno, there seems to be a growing trend to copy the previous post, so as to reply to it.
Is this necessary?
To me it is a waste of storage space and complicates my re-visiting of previous posts.
I can usually work it out.

Do you have any advice on this?</QUOTE>

2) Then remove the text you down't want to reply to and type your message below the quoted text:

<QUOTE=Lynn Eades;231200>Do you have any advice on this?</QUOTE>
Here you go Lynn.

3) And hit reply, the result is as follows:

The added bonus is that you can click on this button viewpost.gif to jump back to the quoted text.

Hope this helps.
