How do comment @replies work?

I wanted to comment a question. There were already other comments.

I wanted to adress my comment to OP.

So I type @the_op_name This is my comment but the part @the_op_name was not shown ?

It's my last comment on this question

What happened ?

Your comment will appear in the OP's inbox even without the @the_op_name, so it was removed because it was unnecessary.
