Comment(by mark-k):

 Replying to [comment:2 jane]:
 > That would completely undermine the meaning of the reply to link. The
 choice on allowing replies is up to the site owner. If they've state they
 don't want replies nested past a certain level, it would be completely
 irresponsible for us to make core 'override' that setting by still showing
 a reply link. People are smart enough to see that there is no reply link
 on one message but that there is one a level up, and just use that.

 Jane, after there are several comments at the maximal nest it becomes a
 PITA to find the original comment, and reply to it, and while all of us
 might understand what is going behind the scene and act in appropriate
 way, for the common commenter it is totally not obvious.
 If the semantics should be different than a "reply to", thats ok, but it
 will be nice if this problem will get some kind of solution.
