Thanks a lot, Sarah.

We think it's going to be a huge asset to WordPress to be the only blogging platform with email comment notifications done the way they should always have been: with replies. It only makes sense. Email is a two-way street... comment notifications should be as well.

I'd like to tip my hat to Josh and Dave from CalderaWP for helping us with not only this migration tool but also doing the heavy lifting on Epoch. I like the model they are pursuing as plugin-developers-for-hire. It's an interesting way for them to supplement their own plugin development while also lending their particular genius to other projects. We've had a good time working with them.
