What is the syntax of @username in comments when username has spaces?
How do comment @replies work?

A user named "Someone With Spaces" comments on my post. I want to comment back and have it show up in his inbox. I comment back with "@Someone With Spaces, bla bla bla". Is this correct protocol?

    @Jeff To me, it's not apparent by that help text that the user "Peter Smith" (i.e. with a space) is being abbreviated - it seems quite plausible that the user's name could simply be "PeterSmith"
