Ask HN: Is there a way to know if someone has commented on any of your (old) posts?

Sometimes I come across old HN threads that I find fascinating. When I reply to a comment, is the author of the parent post notified so that, if they choose, they can continue the discussion?

No.

Would you find such a feature to be useful?

Useful, indeed. But necessary? Nope.

They aren't notified about it, but they can see if anyone has replied by going to their past comments list (linked from their profile) and looking for any changes.
