What was in my post that needed to be edited? If we have no idea what we did, how are we going to avoid making the same mistake next time.

You posted right after the OP, therefore there is no need to quote the op; just as when you respond to a person posting directly above you there is no need to quote that person; otherwise we get quotes within quotes within quotes within quotes. When you are speaking to some in person we don't repeat what that person has just said before responding....same principle. :) We don't know where this habit got started but it can be very distracting, especially when many people are being quoted. If you are responding to a post made several posts back then it does make sense as that way readers know to whom you are responding. (Mod)
