    You replied to your own post here. That means Complexity did not receive a notification that you replied to him
That's because I was targeting both Complexity and veen. But I understand I should have done it the way I'm doing here - shouting out.

    Complexity did not receive a notification that you replied to him, instead you may have noticed your orange circle in the upper left went orange (vermillion, whatever guys) and when you clicked it, you saw this reply on that page.
That is another question. Why do I (at least sometimes) not receive notifications (my hubwheel doesn't go orange) on nested replies to my comments? They always come on the first reply, but when the discussion gets deeper I no longer get the notification. I mean the situation when I make a comment A, someone replies to it by comment B, then I reply to B by posting comment C and the same person replies to C by posting comment D. I get notification on B, but don't get it on D.

Also in notifications I have seen cases when C -> D being posted next to A -> B -> C -> D as different notifications.

Hope I made myself clear enough : ).
