We thank you for your service to the forum, john 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 - I'll try to pitch in more from now on.

I was gone for about a year and recently returned to find (as you did) that members can no longer quote selectively in replying to a post. That's pretty strange since selective quoting was a very useful feature that didn't seem to cause Admin any headaches the way direct messaging did.
