Sorry, I guess some of us take editing for granted.  It is simple, once
you know how.  Here is a tip.  Save it someplace safe if you find it
useful...
 
Mouse click at the start of what ever you want to wipe out, and, keeping
the left button down, wipe over the text you want to erase, and then
release the button when you are at the end of the offending section of
text.
 
The wiped area will now be in reverse colour (highlighted).  Now simply
press the 'delete' key (or start to type).  The highlighted text will
disappear instantly.  Made an error?  Just hold down the 'Ctrl" key and
touch 'z'.  Everything should return to how it was.
 
How much to erase?  If you are responding to anything recent, likely
little or no quotes are needed.  If you have been rooting around in the
logs and the article is a year old and you want to re-open discussion, a
carefully chosen paragraph or two may suffice.

Amazing is the word.  I am thinking seriously of adding thirds and our
packages are already needing seconds.
