That's all well and good if you're replying to just a few lines, but
not if you're replying to a post that may be 3 paragraphs long, and
you're replying to each one in turn.
Of course you can do it that way for any post to which you're not
replying to the entire post, but it's just as easy to highlight the
parts you want to snip and hit delete. That way works regardless of
how much of the post you want copied to the editor.
