wording

For :

What technicly happens is this: The Script creates a link at the beginning of a comment that shows to another comment. The text the link shows doesn't matter just its target. If the target is found on the current page the comment containing the link is considered and shown as a subcomment of that one that is linked.
This way the script works totally transparent, also for those who do not use it, they can just click the link and will get to the comment this one is the answer to.

I suggest the following rewording :

What technically happens is this: the script creates a link, at the beginning of a comment, to another comment. The text shown by the link doesn't matter, just its target. If the target is found on the current page, the comment containing the link is shown as a subcomment of the one it is linking to.
This way, the script works totally transparently, not only for the script users but also for those who do not use it. They can just click the link (and read the text hovering over the link, when the hovering option is used) to get to the comment it is commenting on.
