    If someone else's post answers a question then so be it. Just like inserting a link to a sticky or another post.

    Should we also require that posters insert some arbitrary comment after inserting a link?
    As JP has shown you in post 6 it is already possible to do what you asked. I prefer to leave a comment myself whether I'm quoting or linking. Here are some examples for those who find posting on an interweb forum a bit of a chore.


    Example 1

    JP showed you how to already:

    I recognized this annoyance quite a while back.

    It is often convenient (for me, anyway) to counter another's post by way of a sentence-by-sentence/paragraph-by-paragraph response (different color), without breaking up their post bite by bite.

    The board won't accept this as a legit post without a "finisher" outside the quote.

    I've acclimated, I guess.
