Take a look at how Discourse has done it. They thought long and hard about threaded v. non-threaded, etc. http://try.discourse.org/

They ended up where Jeff Atwood started though:

http://blog.codinghorror.com/web-discussions-flat-by-design/

(from 2006 and 2012)

I still don't agree with Feels great to use. It's fun.

So maybe I'm a weirdo, but I think maybe Discourse embraces one set of people based on a certain way of interacting with information.

How do I make the links clickable? adding an ahref didn't work :-(

You can also edit comments and submissions for up to about 2 hours, unless it/they are edited by the mods. You could have added this find to your original question/comment as an update.
