As someone who typically takes 5-10 minutes between replies unless I'm beaten in the head by magic silver spoons or something, if I'm in the process of typing a response, I don't usually drop what I'm doing, copy the block out (and pray that it stays in the clipboard), respond with a quick reply, and then try to regain my thought for a post from there. It completely disrupts what's already a fickle process at times. (Edda can vouch for me when I say I made her wait 30+ minutes for a reply once. And it gave her enough time to rearrange her FC room on top of me).
If I get a ((hey, are you still typing, or did it get eaten)) post, I will sometimes drop what I'm doing to respond to it, but I don't consider it the norm.
