One _does_ see the posts. They are right above the reply box, in normal thread order. In fact, some find it more convenient to look at previous posts in as-posted order instead of in reverse-posted order (the case with the current click-to-create reply box).

Maybe it's the wording, but it seems that "0 page loads" wouldn't load the page the posts are on. And you see the previous posts in as-posted order when you look at the thread to begin with.
Or am I missing something you guys are assuming and not saying, so I'm not seeing at all what you're talking about as a result?

Perhaps? Imagine that the normal page for viewing a thread includes a dialog box (much like you now have the Jump-To box on the lower right) expanded to fit the width of the screen, maybe half or a third as high as the usual reply screen, labeled 'Quick Reply'
It loads at the same time, as part of the thread viewing page, therefore the only effect of a click is to put the cursor in the dialog box, without reloading.

Ah, I see now - so it's not "0 page loads" but one page load. Yeah, that I've seen. My own peculiarity, I guess, is that I prefer to use the Quote function so that folks reading my post know exactly who I'm responding to - but that's just me. Then again, I don't use cell phones or slow-loading internet when I'm here, so maybe the lack of delay in loading a new page makes it a non-issue to begin with for me.
Mutual understanding achieved. Carry on. :D
