[3DFineries]In this post I'd like to explain the difference between a Forum "Mention" and "Quote".

Too bad those switches aren't available for a thread's opening post - I would have liked to have quoted you in this response! But, then again, if I could have done that, I wouldn't have needed to post in the first place.

While it may seem a little odd, wouldn't any response after the OP be considered to be answering or in reference to the OP making the quotation of the OP irrelevant? Of course if your comment was in relationship to a later comment than a quote would be needed to show the context.

In other words there is no reason to quote an OP as an association to its content is assumed unless something else is stated. As your comment above demonstrates anyone who read the OP will decipher its meaning without the need for you to quote the OP.
