Google quick-reply feature for math, science and serious discussion
sucks big time. Don't use it except for the frivolous of yack yack
newgoupies for which it's designed. Upon hearing Google was getting

Indeed and alas, my foreknowledge wasn't disappointed.

Use the include reply feature and trim out of it only that context that
has been resolved or nor longer pertinent to the continuation.

I hadn't noticed any replies addressed to me.
Note, I read by new arrivals and not by thread.
