Dear ladies and gentlemen,
I have given up the ways of the brass knuckle and have ventured forth into the art of the barbed wire glove. I have a long road ahead of me, but one day will reach the temple of the wooden baseball bat.
p.s I have taken the 55th spot in my jounrey towards the top 50 b/p.
Double grats =) Always hated the level 12 icon myself, but it's part of the process going up so even I was glad to have it (if only briefly lol)

LOL!! Same with me. I just sometimes pick the one that I want to quote the most and do it. Your my lucky winner for a couple minutes. Yay!!!
It's fairly straightforward. For me, I simply take them in the order in which they were posted, but use whatever system works best for you to get you your "base." When you've found your base post, right click on Reply W/ Quote and Open as New Window. Type out whatever reply you want to put in it and then hide the window.
Scroll down through the thread until you find the next one you want to reply to and right click Reply W/ Quote and Open as New Window. I'll typically trim the stuff I'm not quoting first. Cut what you are quoting, Paste it into the base window you hid earlier, and Close that second reply window. Type out your response to that particular quote, then hide the window and go back to thread to find something else to quote.
For those worrying post count, it's a silly thing to do. This post alone could readily be broken up into 8 (my reply to you two being broken up into the explanation and a "go see what I said" post), but there's also the 4 posts/half hour limit to weigh into your consideration. For people like me, who find it difficult to care less about post count, this is more than adequate. It allows me to make all of my replies, and still have 3 replies left this half hour for any corrections I want to make or if something major comes up I want to tap out a reply on (or both, like when ramagi posted this morning right after my big reply).
Another issue with doing it this way, is that you'll find it much easier to bang heads with the 82.5% quote limit. When you have something to say, it's a non-issue, but if all you are doing is typing "Grats" to each quote, it becomes a problem. If you type a lot, you can essentially ignore the background change from gold to white. It's more there as a "warning track" than a real limit. If you filled up every space in the gold, you'd still be short of 6550 chars, but not by much lol
