Also, this was remarkably hard to find. Might I suggest if the logged in user is looking over their own comments, eg me viewing https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=fragmede, that a flagged dead comment with a moderator responding shouldn't be collapsed by default? If that's intentional then nevermind, but as I am truly grateful for this site and you and DanG's (and everyone else's) hard work, I want to point out that it was hard to find and wouldn't have come across it if I didn't have a program running that hits the Firebase API and notifies me on replies. Someone who didn't have such a program could easily miss mod responses.
