To quote posters in my replies?

Is there some sort of particular MN etiquette surrounding quotes on this forum?

The reason I ask is because I've been merrily quoting away and twice in about 15 minutes I've been asked if I'm doing this for fun or what's this childish repeating nonsense.

I am utterly perplexed. One of the people asking had already quoted several previous posters including me!

The way I've been quoting is to bold the quote. Should I be using " " or italics instead? I have seen all three being used with impunity here, so I am really not sure what has gone wrong in my case Confused

It would be good to know what the etiquette is or even drop quotes altogether, though my reason for using them was because I thought it helped establish who was replying to whom.

When in Rome and all that.....

(I suspect this will be consider a TAAT and won't last long - that IS one rule of etiquette I am aware of. However, it may last long enough to find out what the heck is going on, at least Smile )

Evening all! Well. This is looking like a teensy bit of a TAAT now isn't it? Which is rather unfair as it doesn't seem to have been the OP's intention at all. Could we refrain from the specifics do we think, so that the OP's thread can remain? Thank you very much!
OP - you boldly go wherever you wish with quoting, love. We're right behind you. We might even LOL if we dare! Shock
As you all were.

Oh lord! I'm so sorry! It's my roots giving me away! And it's late. Apols. Can I call anyone 'ducks'? Anyone?... Bueller?

Trills - I do not quote. I merely am.
