Do I have to add the [[User:MZMcBride]] in order to trigger a notification that I've replied? Am I expected to copy the fancy markup around some users' signatures?

Clicking [Edit] to have a conversation is an *anti-feature*. It's great that there are tens of thousands of Wikipedians who feel comfortable with it. *I'm not one of them*.
