The word "thread" in this context worries me. A thread is one-dimensional, a chain of replies to the immediately previous post. Here on RW, at least, discussions do not work that way: people go back, reply to earlier posts, expand, and the structure becomes branching and multidimensional. I'm not sure what bearing this has on anything, but I'm sure it's relevant somehow.

    Gee, I wonder if there is a way to reply to an earlier post that has a reply button in the lower righthand corner?

      Yeah, that's why I'm not sure if it has relevance.

        You mean other than the fact it puts your post one indent in from the one you are replying to?
