About

This user script adds a little "reply" link to each comment. Clicking this link will

1. fetch the rest of the comments, if some of them were hidden
2. show the "add comment" text box
3. pre-populate the text box with "@" and the name of the user you're replying to (removing spaces).

Be aware that there's no guarantee that the replied-to user will be notified of the comment -- all the @-reply caveats still apply (see the blog or the community faq for some information).
