You're welcome. =)

Hmm. Well, there are different levels of teachings. The Buddha adapted his words to the audience. When talking to the uninstructed, he said things that could be interpreted as what you mention. However, when talking to those who were further along the path, he elucidated more about anatta, which undermines the simplified explanation by showing that the 'you' which is thought to be reincarnated is a convenient fiction from the get-go. The conventional definition of 'you' doesn't exist in the way that it's conventionally defined, so in that sense, there is no 'you' to be reincarnated. No soul-substance that might transmigrate.

Miln III.5.5: Transmigration and Rebirth {Miln 71}

The king asked: "Venerable Nagasena, is it so that one does not transmigrate[1] and one is reborn?"[2]

"Yes, your majesty, one does not transmigrate and one is reborn."

"How, venerable Nagasena, is it that one does not transmigrate and one is reborn? Give me an analogy."

"Just as, your majesty, if someone kindled one lamp from another, is it indeed so, your majesty, that the lamp would transmigrate from the other lamp?"

"Certainly not, venerable sir."

"Indeed just so, your majesty, one does not transmigrate and one is reborn."

"Give me another analogy."

"Do you remember, your majesty, when you were a boy learning some verse from a teacher?"

"Yes, venerable sir."

"Your majesty, did this verse transmigrate from the teacher?"

"Certainly not, venerable sir."

"Indeed just so, your majesty, one does not transmigrate and one is reborn."

"You are clever, venerable Nagasena." http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipit...n.3x.kell.html
