If you click on 'reply' below the comment you're responding to, it will nest and your comment will show up in nikcub's threads (so it will be easier to notice for them).

A slightly unrelated question: What's up with those non-votable non-commentable recruiting links that have been up on the front page recently? Was that another bug exploit?
