On the other hand, threaded replies make it easier to track a conversation in its entirety. There's pros and cons for both @replies & threaded replies (I've yarned enough about those in the post above), but your point is probably the most significant positive for @replies.

They privilege the consequential aspect of a conversation, while threaded comments can group and hide last comments into threads. This can mean someone doesn't read the latest comments.
