Where did you see this on the web?
I've updated the comments-examples page and redone the analysis for
the existing pages, as some features such as pagination links, nested
reply structures were not examined in the first run round, but can be
found on many of the pages. 16% of pages with comments use explicit,
visible links from comments to the thing being commented on.
Off the web, in the more general case, Usenet and mailing lists are
the kind of place where multiple threaded conversations are
interleaved and may be chronologically intermingled. That is why
Usenet and e-mail messages typically include in-reply-to headers - to
figure out what a message is in reply to, as it is usually not the
preceding message in a chronological sense.
