FYI: if HN prevents you from directly replying to a comment you can click on "link" to access a reply page directly. That's actually what I just did to reply to your comment.

I'm still not completely sure why HN does that to be honest, especially since the heuristic appears to be pretty random.

I think HN tries to discourage long, protracted comment trees.

Wow, definitely didn't notice this earlier. Thanks!
