I do like that it provides certain guarantees that the post was read fully, and that each question/issue was addressed and not missed, sort of like a Shisa Kank

  Copying and pasting and adding numbers is violent editorial surgery and allows the respondent to cherry pick quotes and remove them from context. In a public discussion, it provides a public performance that might lead spectators to imagine the respondent read everything. As a general form, it implies that the first comment wasn't very clear and/or it's thinking not well organized...while of course showing that the response is well structured thought. On the other hand, all stakeholders consent to Shisa Kanko in the context where it is used, and the communication channel is strongly bounded. The channel excludes opinions, expressions of deep feeling, and open ended questions. There's no circumspection.
