Really? Even when used to answer to several persons?

What about situations where a reply starts with quote and next chapter is actually reply to topic?

I think this is a bit confusing. And… because so many ordinary users aren’t using (and totally understanding the difference) ”right” answer-button, I’m not totally sure it works so perfectly.

What would be better option? I don’t know.
