Is there a reason why the replay button doesn't appear sometimes? I always wondered about that.

To you and the others curious about why the reply button doesn't show up, there is a buffer period after a reply appears before you can reply to it, to mitigate flame wars and such. It's usually a few minutes.

If you mean the fact that you can circumvent this, then I'm not sure. It's possibly intentionally left in so that more experienced users have a way around that limitation.
