Subscribe to Comments (Again)

It's good to see that wordpress.com users are getting the excellent "Subscribe to Comments" plugin.

I think comment reply notification is one of the most critical things you can add to a blog. Sure, people can check back to see more comments or, on some systems, subscribe to that post's comment feed, but both of those are much less elegant than clicking a "Subscribe to Comments" checkbox that emails you when new comments are posted.

I'm probably four or five times less likely to post a comment when there's no "Subscribe to Comments" functionality.
