It all depends, how you respond. Just like normal Email, if you have
set to get email.

or through forum, when you reply, there is "button" marked "Quote".
Before sending message, better have preview using "preview" button.

No. TO me things are not clear. You said you have many computer
related degree, still you don't want to contribute any coding. You
wanted to do some English (your native language) related stuff, but
you warned us about your not so good grammar.
