Hey, I appreciate you +1'd my comment but it's better not to do that. The ideal on HN is for every comment to be worth reading. If you want to draw attention to a worthy comment and are frustrated the votes are hidden, just contribute something to the discussion. The subthread will grow and more readers will notice the comment and your reply to it.
