It's just occurred to me that songgi in post #5 was responding to Charlie in post 2.

I often delete unnecessary quotes when they make us reread the previous post, but when there have been intervening posts on a different aspect of the topic, a quote (or partial quote) of the earlier post is not only desirable but essential.
