when you create a reply, the only tag you care is if there's a root to include because you already have the reply at hand, so searching for `root` is what's needed, otherwise you get into a if / else war to know if there's no `root` because it's a root or because it doesn't mark tags.. the root id is the constant on a thread.

I mean if there's a reply tag that does also show that it's coming from a source that uses markers. I see what you're saying about the root being the constant throughout the thread though.

I've updated all my code so that I'll be marking as root from now on.

if you use `reply` as first and if you search for a root and don't find one, then you need to see if there's a reply..

if you use `root` as first and don't find one, then you know the reply is the root.

in the first case you increase the effort by having to make another check and make it more error prone.

I also had it backwards at first, but it makes the most sense if you think about it
