Thread:Feedback/Automatic child-hiding considered harmful

So— already on this small discussion page I find myself changing who I reply to based on the knowledge that responding to someone too deeply nested will make my message hidden to everyone who doesn't click an extra link.

I don't think thats reasonable. Nor does the hiding actually fix the display problem of deeply nested comments it only delays the problem until someone clicks the link.

It's also frustrating and surprising to reply without realizing that your comment will be hidden due to nesting and then regret where you chose to reply.
