After SE comes out of beta (in a couple of weeks?), they're planning on pulling all or most of the new features and bugfixes from SO. In addition to @user replies in comments, we should also be able to edit comments (within 5 minutes of posting). I'm also looking forward to advanced search options and timeline.

I would also like this feature.

Stackoverflow has this: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/01/new-improved-comments-with-reply/

Maybe someday MO will too?

At the moment, if I post a comment on another person's answer and that person responds, I am not notified about the response. I realize that MO does not want discussions, but sometimes when discussing a question or answer, it's useful for the other person to know that you've responded to his or her comment. The feature request proposal: Give users the ability to either notify another user that a response to a comment has been posted, or allow threaded comments through use of a "reply to comment" button.

Are there any arguments against this proposal?
