Best is just to leave the content you are replying to, and snip the rest.

My own personal theory is that God is like I am when I'm playing Civ
II...sure, it really helps my score when I have peaceful civilizations,
but it's really REALLY fun to wage war on other civlizations.
Especially if they are just beginning to develop and I have the super
advanced technology.
