Comment (by joelhardi):

 I also noticed this a while ago. Although Google says there's no search
 penalty for having duplicate links like this, personally I'd rather Google
 not hit my server crawling these pages. I'd recommend adding this line to
 your robots.txt:

 `Disallow: /*/?replytocom=`

 And, while you're at it:

 `Disallow: /*/trackback/`
