The Reshare command in FF, it seems to me, shouldn't create a copy, rather should add the item to my flow, at the top of the list, and any comments that appear in either place would be seen in both.
I discuss the issues of copies vs references in this Scripting News piece. It's a big issue these days. It's understandable that copies must be made when things move among silos, but within a silo why not deal in pointers? (Or give the choice to the user.) http://www.scripting.com/stories...

I don't use the reblog for that very reason.

Agreed - I'd like the comments to port over.

Why not just "like" the original story? Has the same end effect. If someone wants to see everything you liked, they can check out your "likes" page.

one area that I've wished this for is for re-sharing into a relevant room, be nice to have a single thread.

Ole, there is a fair amount of software, all around us, everywhere you look in fact!

Whoa, "like" does what? I've liked lots of things but they don't go on my output queue do they? How could I have missed that.
- Dave Winer
Both "like" and "comment" exposes the story to all your subscribers. It's Friendfeed's killer feature.
