@codinghorror I apologize for replying again, but I did some digging through the Discourse code on GitHub and some debugging, which led me to a simpler suggestion that I hope will be less contentious.
My investigation on GitHub and debugging in the Chrome console was around trying to figure out if there was anything I could build myself to achieve the functionality I wanted. The short answer seemed to be no, but this investigation did lead me to an attribute used for the [reply-to-tab](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/31e100530f5eeef1ceac1c2af91b6df5b1d99521/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/widgets/post.js.es6#L110) widget called [replyDirectlyAbove](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/31e100530f5eeef1ceac1c2af91b6df5b1d99521/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/widgets/post.js.es6#L224). The attribute seems to be exactly what I care about, but right now this isn’t exposed anywhere that can be interacted with publicly.
Basically, my new proposal is to add a class on that widget when `attrs.replyDirectlyAbove` is `true`. For example:
```plaintext
...
```
With that addition, individual Discourse installs could choose to introduce custom CSS to display that differently from the regular `reply-to-tab`, but there would be no need to change anything by default across all installs.
