@smokey @manton @grayareas @ron - I'm ok with flat conversations though have usually preferred threaded ones myself, but some indication of what reply a comment was to would be good, Maybe a "in reply to" link with a short snippet quote or something? It would also be very nice to be able to link to as specific comment in a thread in a blog post or something liek that. It would be good to be able to expose a permalink and set it up so if that link is followed it goes to that comment (rather than just the start of the whole conversation), and maybe highlights it in some way to indicate that that is the comment being referenced? The reader could then go up or down in the conversation to see more context but would know what comment was being referenced.
