the wordng "in reply to" ... sounds like it should go in front of the thread ...

like:

[in reply to] ... Re. [user] blahblah

instead of the current way...

OR how about a different word altogether.

rejoinder -- an answer to a reply or objections (problem ... is that this link shows up after the 1st post)

rollback -- although different than a rollback (to reduce (prces/wages) to a previous lower level) it still has that kind of feeling to it ... to rollback to previous post.

riposte -- another word for answer

retrace -- to trace backward


ummm ... just some ideas to use instead.
