See that? ^

Ok, well if you hit the "reply" button on the bottom right of the post that you are replying to it will make you quote someone.

If you hit the "post reply" button on the bottom left of the thread, then you don't quote someone.

But, the story does not end there... oh no no no....

I have found out that if you hit the "reply" button and type within the quoted area, then it does not see it as you typing anything in there.
You have to type outside of the original quoted area, which I am doing now.
Hope this helps, I ran into that a few timese before and that's the only thing I can think that you are doing to get the message.
If worse comes to worse, you can hit the "reply" button but delete the [ quote ] & [ /quote ] at the beginning and end of the original quote in the text editor.

I had to do that when replying to the 2004 survey thread, so I didn't have to type all the questions over again.
