Very good suggestion for nested threads. A good example of a reply to a question is on the westboro-baptist-church thread. I think it's possible to implement this suggestion. Will fool around with it on localhost and see what I come up with.
No worries on the suggestion. Those threaded comments can be tricky sometimes.
Hey, if you do hear back from them about their stance on this sort of thing, I'd really appreciate if you could let me know what they say. I sort of halted my project after a certain point because I had the fear I'd just have to take it down as soon as I completed it.
Reddit has still not responded. However, I know a moderator of Reddit went to the site based on the link source. It seems like they don't care.
