Well, you have to click on the "Reply" button, which gives you the previous post as a quote. In this case, that would be:

Thanks. I looked up one medication that I am taking and found out it is addictive (though not highly), or has addictive ingrediants and didn`t like the sound of
that so I thought I`d rather put up with some temporary pain than anything unpleasantly long term.

Yeah, I love baseball and understand the terminology, so anytime you want a translator----. :-)

I've shifted the square brackets at the front and back so that you can see it in "unposted mode"...

It's very simple really (sounds good coming from a cyberamus). You just copy this whole block (including the bits in squares brackets) and paste it below the original quote block. Then you can choose which bit you want to answer in each block and remove the rest. You copy it as many times as there are individual topics to answer. I hope I'm making sense! ;-)

I`ve figured out how to do it if it is one whole block (hit 'Reply') it`s separating them to address different parts of the post that confuse me.
I`ll try and figure out what you just said. :-)

GO! YANKEES!!!! How`s that? Huh? Bring it on.)

Thanks RLA. Congratulations to the Yankees from this Boston Red Sox fan.

Thank you. As a Yankees fan I enjoy the rivalry and all that, but a lot of fans of both teams can show a lot of hostility towards each
other in which there is no call for (just get on the teams` fan forums, talk about taking the low road). It`s just a game. When Pedro Martinez
was walking off of the field (the first game he pitched) and all the 'Who`s your Daddy' calls were going in full force he had this slight
grin on his face and I had to laugh. That`s about all one can do in that environment. He pitched a good game and so did A.J. Burnett.
Last night, both him and Pettitte were good but both were tired (who wouldn`t be in that environment). I thought Pedro had retired
then he signed late in the season with the Phillies. He is fun to watch so I was glad to see he was still around and almost thought it
would be a mistake for him to pitch in Yankee Stadium laugh.gif again, but he took it all in stride.

I also enjoy the rivalry. Pretty much all of my family are Yankees fans. My dad and I can really get into it about the rivalry. My younger brother John is living up in the Bronx. He's a high school music teacher and he just started his 2nd year. He's also a Yankees fan. My dad was up in New York for business this summer and my brother John bought 2 tickets and took him to the game. I'm sure my dad will be rubbing it in my face that they got another world series. All of last year I was rubbing it into his face that the Yankees didn't even make the playoffs. I have to say that the Yankees are a good team but don't let my dad know I said so.

Oh if only my family were Yankees fans. They`re all Yankees haters so I get a lot of flack. But not this year!! laugh.gif They aren`t Boston
fans either (local team, the K.C. Royals), but they`re always bringing up the usual arguements against them. I found a list of 'rules' for
Yankees haters so I make a game of it and what I do is pull out the list and make sure they`re following the rules. That`s great that
they got to experience the new Yankee Stadium. I guess I can only dream about it for now. sad.gif
