In my early computer days, which were also my early Mudcat days, the reason I was having trouble with the Blue Clicky Page here was because of the step that says "cut and paste this into your post:". I found I wasn't offered the option of cutting, so that stumped me for a while. When I finally found I could COPY and paste, I came to the conclusion that they made a mistake saying 'cut and paste'.

It all seems quite obvious now, but to a complete newbie, such things can be confusing. All I can say is - if the term for both actions is 'cut and paste', it shouldn't be.
