   heeeheee I found a logical bug in Wordpress. threaded comments are generated as nested lists; comments by postauthor get an extra class - which can be used for styling; now, when a comment is replied to by postauthor and that in turn…

     @mk to work around it in CSS only, I will have to resort to the CSS3 :not() selector (which IE8 does not support - that won't break anything functional, but display won't be optimal). Hmm. #wordpress #css

     @mk I think the idea is that replies to !Wordpress postauthor comments are children of that comment, so that replies are styled similarly but nested one list item deeper

     @bobjonkman oh, and I had to actually remove one rule from 'dark' because it was interfering anyway (matching both postauthor and others, and stopping there). Doing that is a no-no, but it was the only way...
