Close, but not quite. Nevertheless, let me say that I am pleased to see the arrival of this change, if only because I have found myself frequently at a loss of visibility when it comes to the peculiarities of the "redundant post cleaner".

The remaining glitch is probably just a code typo. Take, for example, my recent Lifebox post, which was quickly picked up by Rattle.

Although I am the original poster, my name appears nowhere on this page. The top entry says "Rattle" and the footer says "Rattle", too.

It is true that oaknet's reply was sent to Rattle, rather than to me. But the effect of "threading" the discussion is that my original post has been completely shadowed.

This thread is only one example; similar shadowing effects are seen widely.
