Comment(by archon810):

 In case of threaded comments disabled, this doesn't present a problem -
 you only have one methodology behind replying and that is your message
 becomes last. The reply button on every post then acts as 1 single giant
 reply button.

 However, in the case of threaded comments with a reached limit, there
 should most certainly not be a reply button in the wp-admin for the same
 reason there shouldn't be any on the live site. The logic is exactly the
 same, whether it's on wp-admin or live post - I don't understand why
 there's such resistance to acknowledging it's a bug.

 In the first paragraph, I expect my comment to show up where it does,
 while in the 2nd, I don't - it creates broken conversations because you,
 on the admin side, don't know that the thread limit has been reached and
 just use the Reply link blindly. Your reply, however, ends up who knows
 where all the way at the end, and that is buggy and unexpected behavior.
