Not really – and I think this potential lack of clarity is something people should learn to address by writing clearly and quoting / name mentioning as necessary. So I am not inclined to encourage phoning it in on this stuff by enabling lazy writing.

In general you should always assume people are replying to the topic as a whole, unless they give you specific reasons to believe otherwise.
