Could you explain or point out the cutting and paste of a quote from a thread/post and add that to another thread?

I think that they just go to the thread, click "Reply with a quote" and then highlight the entire post (or the relevant portion) and then do the Control+C thing, then pull up the other thread, and make a new post and then do the Control+V thing.

When I do this it tends to clarify what I'm replying about and to whom I'm replying. It also gives you a notice that I replied to you.

Will you explain the process less the whole quote with reply button?
 
Of course it's possible that using the term "clarify" would be a significant overstatement.
