Thanks guys,
I actually bounce around 5 different devices, some shared with others, so saving it in a browser isn't as nice as saving it to my account.
That being said if I get my own device and stick to that, I can use the browser method.
For now what I do to save it to my GC account is click "post reply", then copy and paste the section in my reply, change the subject to something that relates to why I saved it and then just hit "save draft."
This saves it to the "manage drafts" section in the user control panel. Actually didn't really realize how useful this method is until I wrote this reply (had to think about it through and through), so in a way problem solved fellas.
