Nothing HN-specific, and yeah I also see jbverschoor as having only one comment without replies in his comments page and yet our entire conversation is shown in reply to this one comment on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22756730

EDIT: scratch that, it shows in reply to hc91 [flagged] comment, but it in turn was originally a reply to my own, not a top-level comment for the submission.
