In the thread I've branched from to create this topic, the following situation occured:
1. OP asks a question.
2. I "Comment" and provide an answer to the OP's question.
3. Bungie employee "Replies" to my post and confirms that my answer is correct.
The big problem here is that the OP (and anyone else who might benefit from seeing an official Bungie response) is not notified of the reply to my comment... Only I am. Furthermore, unless he chooses to expand the list of replies to my comment, he will never see it.
I know this point has been beaten to death, but I wanted to include a real example to illustrate the point.

I see when a thread is replied to. If it's a question I asked, I don't decide not to check it anymore. Especially if I'm OP. You can see when post count increases (Like Tom said above) and you go to check what was posted. Not that hard. It's like, if I post a question on here, I'm not going to ignore after posting it because I don't feel like finding out the answer any more lol.

And what if I post an incorrect answer, but Tom corrects me by replying to my comment?

I'll see the post count increase on the right side of the thread's bar in whichever forum list it is in. Point is, if someone really wants an answer to a question, they will watch the development of the thread. If they don't notice the post count and if they don't check to see if someone has replied to someone else. This should be accompanied by the fact that not everyone on the interent is right and that, especially on here, threads are ever developing and I've seen too many corrections to just go off of one person's answer.
