Question Alert for a thread I've not participated in?

I had this alert this morning:

Why did I get this? I've never participated in that thread.

Perhaps they quoted something you said in a different thread?

I think there is a feature in the software when if your post is added to a multi quote reply it notifies you, and if the user goes back and deletes your quote it isn't smart enough to back it out . . .

Did you get a notice that I quoted you @tursiops ?

The link in the image in my OP is Coast Guard medevacs diver showing signs of decompression sickness from boat 100 miles off Galveston. It goes to a post by Big Dan K.

Yes; did you quote me, then edit and delete it?

That is correct.

QUOTE, post, edit, delete, save.

Hmmm. OK. Thanks.

If you add a post to quote and then do not use it, it stays there and gets posted with the next quote you do. I have carried over posts and then deleted them as inappropriate. If you review your quote before adding it to the post, you can remove any that don't belong.

Letterboy is right! You can quote me on that.
