Can you teach me an easy way to reply to a post in segments?

I asked to @Misty  but her way is too complicated for me.

Thanks anyway,  @Misty

So, the first thing is to hit "Disable word processor". It's just to the right bottom of the box, an inch below where this post ends.

Then, copy the entire heading, from [bracket to bracket]. That's your header. Highlight it, and hit control x to capture and control v to put it back. 

Then, put an end quote box at the end of the very first segment. An end quote box is the symbol / and the word quote, like so: /quote, between brackets. The brackets look like this [ and this ].This is what's called an embedded command. It doesn't show up in the text - it provides a function.

Respond to that segment, placing YOUR text immediately below the end quote box.. 

Now, hit control v again, to head the next snippet. That will put the header in again, above the text you are responding to. 

Go to the end of the snippet, and put an end quote box there. Respond to that portion of the quote.

Hit control v again, and it will head the remaining snippet. there should already BE an end quote box there. Go outside of the end quote box and respond.

When you do a multi quote like that, instead of hitting submit, you should hit preview, to see if maybe you accidentally left the "e" off the word quote, or spelled it qote, or some such error. If that happened, it is no longer a function command - it is now text. And the program will make a mash of your post - which you can fix by finding and correcting the error - and be sure to undo any adjustments the program made to compensate for your error, such as adding another end quote box. 

Is that easy to follow?

 It sounds complex, but it's very easy once you have mastered it.
