How do I multi-quote?

All things are possible - but you may need to instruct me as to exactly what you want done . Obviously, having two members called Anna, being different people, might need some delicate negotiation.

On the BBC Messageboard, I know that someone impersonated me with the same nickname, some time time after I had changed to this name. I expressed my concern, and the other's name was quickly changed, but then went on to impersonate a different member for a while. Later, however, he/she took on my characteristics, even playing the same instruments and "living in the same area". No harm was done, but it was a little uncomfortable. So far, there's been no sign of the same over here.

If anything like that happened here, I think I could guarantee a thorough investigation.

Going back to Anna's query, there may be things which the software doesn't like but the administration is happy with. And vice versa. I don't think there is any legitimate purpose for operating more than one account. Except me and Lars Porsenna, of course .

I personally favour selective, edited quotes which are just enough to explain whose post is being answered. But that's just me ...

O you are not alone, ff, in this favouring - and I wish that was more widely the custom here. It takes but a moment to excise the sentences to which one is not specifically replying.
