Not sure if this is going to suck or not (I feel like it probably will).

I recently anonymized a user at their request. Everything appeared to work as intended with the exception of the retention of the username in all replies where they were quoted. ☹

Is this expected behavior? It seems like it’ll require some work to really scrub the username association with quotes, but it also feels like it should be done for consistency?
