In grammar, go with the majority. (If someone who knows is not available.)

Nah, Rory... you ain't.

This comment was attached to a previous comment... threaded.
This comment was attached to the main post.
Although, comments themselves aren't "threaded" or "flat" it's only the way one views them. You could view an entire discussion in threaded mode, and as long as every comment was a reply to the original post, it would look flat.
So glad I was in a meeting from 1-3:30 yesterday afternoon, the "re: viewing options" discussion was hilarious, but only as an observer, I think.

How ever you want to put it.
I guess I can only edit so much huh?
That one that says thread should now say post I guess.

I edit over all!

Listen, TGL, just define your terms.
When you say, "reply to the post you are replying to", it means nothing as post means two different things in this context.
...I'm pretty sure everyone knows what you mean, but then again...
I know, it would be nice to wrap up the whole idea in one short sentence but I'm not sure if you can.
