Or for me, and that's why I asked at Reply # 1.  His explanation was as mysterious/ambiguous as his explanation about avoiding the word filter.  You have now made it very clear.

That should be...

Leave the whole sentence/statement intact. Begin and end on punctuation/paragraph, if you like.

Look again.  What I quoted
does
begin and end with a punctuation mark.

Correct:

Hence, you can see the comma.

Quote:

What I quoted began with a punctuation mark (capital letter) and ended with another (a comma.)

Is that okay?

Huh

Don't be a dick, you know exactly what I said, you even said I made it clear. Why are you playing dense now? Trying to outdo Greg in pedantry? What do you hope to achieve? Perhaps you should read Quote:
Leave the whole sentence/statement intact.
this again. I'm sure you're smart enough to comprehend it. I'm not playing this game any more.

You call it a game?  This is what you said:

That is exactly what I did.

I have a clear understanding of what Sentanta is saying but not sure that it isn't very different to what Vic said.

Also not sure that either has the authority to make a binding ruling on the topic or if so which one ?

IMO it isn't a problem unless people start changing the meaning of others posts.

I've suspended a number of people for doing it over my time as a mod and as I give the reason and length of suspension in a part of the forum for all mods to read, including fd and have never been pulled up for it I'd suggest therefore I have that authority.

I have no idea why it's so hard for people to type their own words and their need to misrepresent other posters by changing theirs. I also have no idea why people would think that it's a bad idea to have such a ruling.
