Twice this morning I got stuck in a situation where I was writing a post and wanted to start some new topics in reply rather than write one long reply with lots of points (as I would in a mailing list 😉). The “reply as new topic” just includes the whole post and then you have to delete what you don’t want. This is ok but better functionality would be to let you select the text you want and then click “reply as new topic” or even better to have a second button “quote reply as new topic” next to the “quote reply” that pops up when you quote text.
