Hi Steve,

It depends on how the blogger/publication has comment threading set up.
Postmatic is just the conduit to deliver engagement, and simply adheres to the admin settings. So, if a blog limits threading to five tiers, the comment from a Postmatic email will drop in the same place as a web comment would. The difference being, at least you can reply direct to author from the email, as opposed to having no option to do so on a throttled web comment thread. :)

The grey text is old comments, the black new. Based on how Postmatic is set up, and what features are enabled, a commenter will get a direct reply immediately, and the daily digest (like the one I'm reading now) will share others that may refer to your comment, but not be a direct reply.

Additionally, Postmatic looks at the quality and relevance of the comment, and only sends "good ones" directly. So, technically, your comment would be sent to me immediately , but an "I agree!" comment wouldn't be sent until the daily digest goes out.

This kind of approach has made a huge difference to the way I interact with not only my own readers, but those of other Postmatic-powered sites.
