This looks really handy for getting hold of my raw data. One thing -- parentID for comments I fetched with http://api.ihackernews.com/threads/Robin_Message is blank -- is it meant to be or am I missing something? I'd expect it to be the id of the parent comment, and possibly for there to be an "On" field that takes me up to the top level.


Thanks, I'll look at this tonight and get it fixed.
