I think that for non-threaded comments, the convention for reply is just to add a new comment. Perhaps using the @name convention to refer to a previous commenter in the thread. The thing I occasionally find I want with comments is a way to add a new comment at the command line. The form of a comment file is not easy to come up with save by cut and paste from an existing comment. A little utility to generate a new blank comment and run $EDITOR on it, perhaps? -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
