    This is the workaround I use. Solves about 90% of cases for me. On the other 10% I either write two comments or just suffer. Commented Apr 2, 2010 at 10:20

    Even if it wasn't directed towards @balpha, it would help if balpha was notified, so that he can e.g. verify/correct the claim.

  • True, @Tshepang. Still, in this specific case Sarfraz was the author and hence was notified anyhow. So: no need "to spoil" the one-and-only @ that is at one's disposal on Sarfraz. And hence, in this example, one could indeed us @balpha to notify both him and Sarfraz (when not first using @ to prefix Sarfraz). All this aside: most of the users simply won't know about all these rules, of course. So this is really a workaround.
