Several times in the last few weeks, I have posted an opening post to a thread, which then of course received feedback from a variety of users. In several cases, the users replied in similar or closely related manner. However, I could only reply to one of them in the API sense of the word. I usually fell back to replying on one of them and tagging the other in the conversation. This immediately eliminates the threaded nature of the conversation, though. I would love it if one could reply to multiple posts at the same time. In conversation on this topic,1 @darnell suggested that to prevent abuse by spammers, it might also be a great premium/developer feature. So: feature suggestion: add multiply reply capability to the API!

In which, notably, exactly this issue came up: I wanted to reply to separate posts by @darnell and @annatarkov but could only actually reply to one of them and had to tag the other in the relevant post. ↩
