I like the idea of being able to reply to homenodes. When I see a cool or informative homenode, I generally want to tell the author my thoughts and feelings about it. What better way than a reply to the homenode? You can still see the homenode when writing out your reply.

Perhaps we should be given the option of having a reply to link added to our homenode?

When replying to a homenode, couldn't we be given the option of making the reply private?
