How do I "quick reply" to a post without getting the "quote" from that box?

[BearLakeFishGuy]

I've tried to use, "Quick Reply" to respong to a post, but I DO NOT want the quote from that post to appear in my reply.  I"ve tried clickin the "-" sign for "QUOTE" and the quote still show up when I try to "quick reply".  I hate it when the replies inlcude the text quotes from the previous post.  However, I have not been able to toggle the "Quote" button on/off, bu clicking on the +/- signs.  I know I can hit the regular" reply and it doesn't include the quoted text.  Anyone else having this issue?
