This reply is quite clever, but at the current nesting level, nobody will notice.

No, mgiannopoulos[0], there is no limit on nesting replies that I'm aware of. I'm nesting another one now!

There is rate-limiting, though, which is probably what you hit. Wait a bit, and you can reply. Or click the "XX minutes ago", and I've found you can reply there.

Strange way for rate limiting, allowing replies on one comment but not another.

I got this far, may as well continue the nesting experiment.

Yeah, this is still at the top for me. Moving it along! I wonder how far it would have to go before it starts having problems. Or before apps start having problems. Doing this from my phone, and the comments are starting to get fairly difficult to read.

Well, I should at least help this scientific experiment...

I realized I commented with another account, so I guess I'll post again...
