Two members isn’t a large dataset, but

it is interesting to see that a majority start new topics either quoting or posting a link to the “source” post.

Yet, I agree, the number of new topics started by using the Reply As is a considerable percentage.

I’m thinking making the work-around easier might be a good idea.
