That is not true - if somebody replies to an older blog comment, the reply is still sorted where that blog comment is, which may be a lot further down. On a wiki where the pro editors use RecentChanges and the diff links it generates to keep track of conversations, you can post important new thoughts that relate to old thoughts rigth next to them and count on them being noticed - on a blog, you'd better start an all new new comment (and if there's an easy way to link to old comments, I must have missed it), or nobody'll see it. Even the RC link is fairly useless, as even if you know what to click to actually see the comment, you won't be shown any context.
