I did raise this question in a thread a while back and Russ did confirm that @ does not tag the recipient.

I think the confusion is when people hit reply instead of quote; the recipient is notified as a post of theirs has been replied to. AND when they look at the message they simply see @ followed by their name and mistakenly think @ works.

It's quite simple.

The "reply" and "quote" buttons both send a notification to the user you have replied to. It does not matter what the content includes. The difference between the two buttons is that the "reply" button adds the "@replied-to" at the start of your post [which you can remove if you want], and the "quote" button does not - but it adds a quote to the replied-to post.

The "post" button does not notify anybody - after all, there's no one to notify in this case. You're just adding to the thread - not definitely responding to a particular post.

Regardless of the button used to create a post using "@somone" in a post does not, on it's own, alert that same someone to the post.
