I have no desire to break the rules. I reviewed the Religion Moderator’s page regarding the rules, but didn’t see any reference to forbidding the quoting of a earlier post on a different thread by a Freeper, particularly if it is salient to the current discussion.
If such is the case, I apologize to CC and will henceforth refrain from quoting earlier posts.
