I'm a designer and I agree. The one quick improvement Twitter could make to the tweetstorm is to automatically (or giving the option to) remove the users handle when replaying to themselves when initiating the storm.

You can already reply to yourself and Your handle doesn't appear, does it? At least, it doesn't if I use the web interface.

Otherwise, this pic will give you a good idea of the changes Twitter is making to the tweet structure...

Even if it does appear, you can simply remove it and Twitter will preserve the reply/threading regardless.
