    I would like to be notified if and when someone responds to one of my posts. It's just a setting, no doubt. Much appreciated. (lol)
    We did that a month or so ago. The group decided it was a headache. While I agree with what you want, I am all for what is best for everyone.

    You can at least subscribe to a thread and then you'll be notified of any responses to the threads you post in. But to narrow it down to say, only when someone "quotes" or replies specifically to you - we would be inundated with a few hundred notifications per day! And it would only notify you similar to rep/likes - not email.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    Say, don't you live near Jeff?
    I've been meaning to visit my friend Jeff for a long time now .
    Wouldn't it be nice if the three of us could meet up somewhere?-Tyr

    Why would I want to meet you? When you don't like what someone says, you shout. When you still don't like it, you shout louder. But I'm sure it would be so much more fun to be not threatened in person.

    But Jeff is very nice, good people. I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here.

    Here's a shortened quote (an extract) from a 'Jim' posting ...

    Lots of reasons to shorten a post
    The intended meaning of the message hasn't been lost in reproducing it. It means what it says. Shortening, in this example, is not offered for abusive effect.

    When you shorten other's posts in quoting them .. can you honestly say the same ? If there are indeed 'lots of reasons to shorten a post', to ABUSE or MISREPRESENT that post isn't included in that.

    That, FJ, is trolling behaviour.

    Trolls have abusive intent ... and they persist. As you're currently doing.
