No, I am reading it correctly. The threaded view is a hierarchy. The intent is to show which post you are responding to.

That's the problem. When you do that, it links your post in the threaded view to whatever is the most recent post in the thread, even if that isn't the post you are responding to. That might be OK if you include context in your post like quoting a section of the post to which you are responding or use screen names instead of pronouns. Otherwise there is no way to tell who you are addressing.

If you look at the threaded view, you will see this post linked to your post in the hierarchy, even though your post is not the most recent one as I am typing this.

The way to get the links correct is to use the "Reply with quote" or "Quick reply to this message" buttons on the post to which you are responding.
