It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you write longer comments in a simple text editor FIRST and then copy/paste the comment into your browser. We get too many stories of people writing a long comment then clicking the wrong button and losing all their work.

So that readers can understand you, be sure to click "add comment" when responding to the main article and "reply" when you are responding to someone else's comment on the main article. The effect will be to "nest" the replies so they can be followed in an orderly fashion by new readers.
