In [Is Free-Threading Our Only Option? - #5 by pitrou](https://discuss.python.org/t/is-free-threading-our-only-option/91775/5) I got a “system” edit with this explanation: “Automatically removed quote of whole previous post.” But the problem is that by removing the quote, it is removing context for the reader to know to which post I was replying. Can we disable this “feature”? ---

This post is what happens when you click on Reply on the last message instead of Reply at the end of the thread. the 2 reply buttons: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/python1/original/3X/8/d/8d4e6cb3791b087bd439bee2268aea650e2d97f3.png) My interpretation was always that this should be clear enough, but let’s see whether it’s clear what it relies to. * * * Edit: indeed it’s quite unclear what I replied to. ---

It’s annoying, but from memory you can edit to undo the ‘system edit’, and that second edit will be respected.
