@cjslep so say you have a conversation tree like in https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/476#issuecomment-387813503. In your UI you want to know if, say, note 6 and note 10 are associated with each other...

@evanp am I to understand that there's no reliable way to do this besides the "brittle" method?

@evanp okay. Seems to me that this would be a useful thing to be able to do regardless e.g. for some sort of advanced search API, but I get it....

Looks like https://probot.github.io/docs/testing/ appeared since I wrote those comments - that appears to match what I'm doing. It would be nice if those mocks were shipped in Probot core, perhaps...

Are you kidding me? This isn't helpful. @stale has been spamming Hubot issues for months and now it's doing the same to Probot issues. A bot like that is appropriate...

AFAIK this is still an issue?
