I always though that the big reply button was to quote the person about something. Like I just did. I can't use threaded fourms unless they clearly mark NEW for each new post and even then I don't like looking at every page of a long thread to see if there are any new posts. Maybe have it linear with a threaded outline at the bottom (just links to posts or just the title or somthing) like:
Subject
>Re:Subject

>Re:Subject
>>Re:Re:Subject

at the bottom of every page
