Wait... now I remember there is a PerlMonks Discussion area. I think that's an appropriate place for this discussion. The original complaint should have been moved there. Am I there now? It doesn't say. Which raises the question, make it say!

Node type is listed in the node status nodelet. Though it might be nice if the "Comment on" node would tell you what type of node you are commenting on. Come to that, it shows the subject (without link) and author (with link) of the post you are commenting on. Is there some reason the subject isn't a link?
