I was actually just agreeing with @nonameslefttouse's statement above.

I can sit under a post and have a 100 comment conversation with one person. That's 100 comments but who the hell wants to hear me talking about ducks? Or whatever. Spaghetti dinners. Palnet shows everyone 35 different folks paid me a visit today. What could be happening there? They'll wonder.

I've quoted him again for you here, because it's probably not that easy to keep track of every thread while replying to all those many comments you've received as a result of your proxy sending out those advertisement-pennies. ;)

The key is that the SCOTtribe-condenser shows how many different comment threads are in a post as compared to a simple counter of all comments in the default steemit condenser.
