Question

I am scraping an online forum using Jsoup. Was wondering how should i go about scraping the main post without other’s commenter’s quote.

What i managed to scrape: carey wrote: Yup, CC usually got discounts, especially for petrol and makan… The black DBS debit card when used at petrol kiosk can get discount? I always pay cash because no cc.

What i want: The black DBS debit card when used at petrol kiosk can get discount? I always pay cash because no cc.

Here is the html:

<div id="post_message_63989045">
  <div class="quote"> 
    <span class="byline"> <a href="/eat-drink-man-woman-16/life-without-credit-cards-3601620-post63982949.html#post63982949" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/img/forums/hwz/buttons/viewpost.gif" border="0" alt="View Post" /></a> <strong>carey</strong> wrote: </span> 
     <blockquote cite="showthread.php?p=63982949#post63982949">

        <br /> 
        <br /> So those without a CC are being penalized
