How do you quote? Help

How do you quote 2 or 3 or 4 different posts in one thread in a single post? For instance to answer 2 or 3 questions from different people without having to do a seperate post for each question. I can not figure it out.
 
multiple windows (or tabs if you're using firefox) jump between the one you want to quote and the response you want to paste to (or actually end up sending).

Make sense?

If you hit the quote button, it will only quote the person you're replying to. You can quote multiple people, but you have to do it manually.

Broken down, that looks like this:

person 2 said:
person 1 said:
blah blah blah (what person 1 says) [/QUOTE ]blah blah blah (what person 2 says) [/QUOTE ].

(I put the spaces in the quote tags so they wouldn't actually turn into quotes).
 
To answer two separate questions in one post, the easiest way to do it is like Sniggs said and use two different windows. Open another window for your reply (right-click 'reply' and select 'open in new window'), and then in your original window, hit the quote button. Copy that and paste it into your new 'reply' window. In your original window, hit the back button and quote another post. Copy-paste that into your new 'reply' window as well. Hope that helps a little.
