It's possible, but you need to be a little tricky with it. I'm pretty much asking that you don't have to figure out work-arounds

Just like this

This can be done with different people's comments, but that is a slightly different work-around again and requires multible tabs/windows open. Please staff can you just make it so that quote's work like this as they do on pretty much any other forum I have used?
I know one website where you select the text and hit quote. That part is added to your comment as a quote and you can do it multiple times with other posts, or from the same posts. That works perfect.
If someone wants to see how it works: go to www.partyflock.nl, sign up and try it out!
I just wish they would fix it for the iPad. Doesn't work at all.

@OP: I don't mind the @ method. (Clearly! 
) It's natural, plain, and succinct.
It kind of fails when you are trying to respond to several posts however. For instance, if this was your 3rd post on the page and you had several lines in each post, all I would want is to quote a sentence from your second post and reply to that. It is clear without any scrolling-investigation as to what I am responding to (clearer than the way I explained this anyway).
It's nice that the quote option is there and I use it quite frequently. I really have 2 complaints about it that are site specific though:
1) You can't quote in the tactics trainer forums. The link is there, but if you click it you get re-directed to the next puzzle and have no way of getting back to the puzzle you wanted to comment on. You are then forced to use the old "@" method.
2) Make it so that it is easier to crop a quoted post. By this I mean that if someone has written a lengthy post and you want to respond to a single line halfway down the page, you cannot simply delete the unwanted text and type your response. If you do this, any new text that you type will appear as a part of the quoted person's post. The only way around this (that I know of) is to press "quote," type a few letters at the bottom of the text box, only now can you safely delete parts of the quote without becomming a part of it yourself.
