I posted a reply to Russ in this thread:
When I did so, I began it with "@Russ, " to tag him. When I posted the comment though, the tag vanished. I tried several times to edit the comment to put the tag back and it keeps removing it. What gives?

This is by design -- @postowner is never necessary when addressing the post owner, as the post owner is always notified of every single comment on their post, forever, always.
So we auto-remove it when the only people talking are you and the post owner.
