Allow quoting without prefixing with the quoted's username

Often a member will start a post containing multiple questions, eg:

What is a goodybag?
How do I buy one?
What is credit?

Now I usually respond to posts like these by quoting each question and supplying my response under each quote:

@membername01 What is a goodybag?

A goodybag is...

How do I buy one?

You buy goodybags...

What is credit?

Credit is ...

Note that I only need to reference the membername in the first quote to get their attention, I don't need to keep referencing it in the subsequent replies. However the quote function always references the membername so I have to manually delete it from each of the subsequent quotes.

So I propose a second function when text is highlighted to quote the text without having the member name prefixed:

so pressing:

Quote quotes the highlighted text prefixed by the membername as it does now
Copy quotes the hightlighted text without prefixing it with the membername

Hmm You can just remove the member-name though, or just copy and paste the text and preceded it by > though.

Or if you quote the whole text, then just start typing in-between leaving a line break either side, you can just remove the > on each line that is yours.

Like debt, but the bailiffs come a little later.

Yes there are manual workarounds but it would be nice to have this function. After all software is about making things easier, if not easy.
