This reply is quite clever, but at the current nesting level, nobody will notice.
Unless it is the most upvoted comment
And behold, it is :)
No, mgiannopoulos[0], there is no limit on nesting replies that I'm aware of. I'm nesting another one now!

There is rate-limiting, though, which is probably what you hit. Wait a bit, and you can reply. Or click the "XX minutes ago", and I've found you can reply there.

Strange way for rate limiting, allowing replies on one comment but not another.
I got this far, may as well continue the nesting experiment.
I noticed dreamcompiler! And apparently there is a limit to the nesting of replies (which is why i’m replying to the parent comment) ?!
