The message
from "David Hill" contains these
words:

"...........Your posts are most confusing, David: how come the text you're
replying to never has the usual quote marks at the beginning of each line?
........"

When I was in school if you were quoting a paragraph you just used quotation
marks ( " ")at the beginning and end of the piece you are quoting, and
certainly not at the start of every line.

When you were in school I don't expect the internet had been dreamed-up.

(For me, steam engines were a matter of wonder and delight.)

Being the only one in step makes it harder to extract the pith from your
posts....
