How do you know? You should start a poll:

• I'm clever and know the difference between QUOTE and NEW REPLY.
• I'm dumb and can't tell them apart.

Change that button to "Reply". File the response as reply to the post the user was looking at when (s)he was pressing said button.

No thanks. Then you have to scroll up to the top if you want to reply to the original post.
With the current solution you can do both. Feel free to remove the quoted contents if that bothers you.

Cheers

Please add:

• I'm dumbest and don't even know what the problem is
  

@Walter:

Just in case it's the threaded list mode: Don't use it. If a discussion forks, it's about time for another thread. Also, my contribution shows that it would be difficult to list my post in a meaningful way in threaded view. It's atomic in a sense and still references your original post and the first post in the first branch. It is where it is because I needed (or wanted ;-)) Thomas' quote, not because I find it would belong there.

You can click on the + [Quote this post] just beside the QUOTE button. And then use it in a reply to a specific post using QUOTE or to the original post using NEW REPLY. This allows you to add quotes from multiple posts even from different threads in your reply.

In this case I added your post but quoted it in a reply to my first post.

Cheers
Thomas
