Please take this as a helpful hint.
When you are replying to a message, look for the REPLY button to the bottom right of the message to which you are responding.
I have noticed that you are sometime replying to yourself, but what you write looks as if the reply was intended for somebody else (randman for example). This happens when you push the "REPLY" button from a message other than the one to which you are replying.
When you get it right, then while composing your reply you should see the text of the message to which you are responding. This text will be a little below the edit window. That makes it easier to cut and paste if you want to quote some text.
