It takes about 6 seconds to figure out... on a bad day, with a hangover, on a 14.4 dial up, running mosaic.

You don't have to scroll or keep track of posts to reply to either, you just insert your replies between the quoted posts.

And now you know.

We already covered this, four times. Furthermore, the @herpderp works on twitter because of the automatic conversation threading, Over there, it's quite easy to actually bring up the post that was being responded to along with the entire conversation, so things actually are in context and make sense.
Here... not so much.
But hey, if you wish to be obtuse about understanding the differences between the sites, their format and conventions along with how the use of @herpderp nonsense yields exceptionally poor quality and hard to understand posts here, go for it.
