Comment:

 mrjarbenne - Thanks for the report.

 r-a-y - Do you have thoughts about this? I think the feedback is valid. We
 could approach it as requiring a couple interface tweaks:

 1. Add something to the interface that will allow linking to the blog post
 from within the activity reply. Maybe like a '#' link.
 2. When 'Blog Comments' is selected in the activity stream dropdown,
 switch to show_comments=threaded

 I've seen a related comment in a few places along the lines of: activity
 replies don't push the parent to the top of the thread, so blog comments
 are not as visible in 2.0 (as when they were standalone activity items). I
 wonder if solving *that* problem - say, using the thread-last-updated date
 for ordering recent activity items, and then doing something in the
 interface to show which comments are newest - would go some way toward
 solving the visibility/accessibility issues that mrjarbenne is raising
 here.

 Putting into 2.1 for further discussion.
