Meta: gjm’s comment appears at the same level as comments that directly reply to Kaj’s original shortform. So until I read your own comment, I assumed they, too, were replying to Kaj. I think deleting a comment shouldn’t alter the hierarchy of other comments in that thread.
Oops, that’s a weird side-effect of the way we implemented spam purging (which is a more aggressive form of deletion than we usually use). We should really fix some bugs related to that implementation.
