Recent Posts permissions

I think it's not a good idea to have permissions to do anything with posts in the "recent posts" listings other than link to the actual post in the topic - that's where the user should act on posts.
Quote, Reply (and Like, Notify?), etc. should not be available in the Recent Posts list,  only be available in the actual topic. 
Observed in v 1.1.x and v 2.x

Worse, it's apparently a logic conflict in 2.x..

In v 2.x, you can't "reply" to a particular message in a topic - the Reply function at the top (or bottom) of the topic is for the general topic, where the individual posts offer a "Quote" (which makes sense) as the reply is going to end up at the end of the reply chain anyway so you know what post is being replied to. But you can "reply" to the individual posts from the  Recent Posts listing, which I think really doesn't make sense in the listing, or anywhere else for that matter....
