And for more advanced users, I would like to know how to "Quote" from one thread to another?

Do I have to open two instances of my browser and:
1) First be in the thread that I want to quote to
2) Open another browser instance of NGA and go to the thread and individual post I want to quote from.
3) Go to that quote, click on it "Quote", scroll to the page to edit it,
4) but instead of editing the post, copy the quoted post with my keyboard: by highlighting it, and then holding down the Ctrl key on my keyboard and pressing the letter "c"
5) then moving back to the first browser posting a new reply to that thread and pressing the Ctrl + "v" key to paste it. ??

Can this be done or is there an easier way?
. . . it's always better to ask questions, than jump to conclusions.
AND . . . always hear both sides of the story before making a judgment.
