Sunday, a day of rest on which I traditionally let other people do my thinking for me, so ...
Please and Thank You, what is the difference, in the Notifications panel, between "Reply from" and "Quoted by"?

In this morning's session there are several responses in the one Topic. Leif's was the first response and he is singled out as "Quoted by", but truth be told, John, Graeme and Ron are equal to Leif, in my eyes.

My current theory is that the first person to issue a response since my latest post in a topic appears as "Quoted by", but then both Leif and Graeme have issued text quoted from my posts, whereas John and Ron have not quoted text, so that theory is blown out of the water (or "off the ice" as we say here in Newfoundland)

Leif quoted you (Chris Greaves). Graeme replied in the same topic, but quoted someone else (John Gray).
Best wishes,
Hans
