Hey, call me pernickety, but I would take it that if someone makes a 
post which

a) comes up as 'in reply to' one of my posts in my mail client, and
b) has the reply text immediately below some single-quoted text that I 
wrote,

then the post is a reply to me and I should take it as such.

Otherwise it  just gets confusing and no-one knows who is replying to whom.
