Yes, but AFAIK they're like the "threaded" display of slashdot, not the 
"nested" display.  In the "nested" display, the entries are sorted and 
indented like a "threaded" reader, but rather than just showing the 
subject/headers, each whole message is displayed, complete with individual
"reply" buttons.  

The easiest way to see it is to go to slashdot, open
a story, and select "nested" instead of "threaded" in the prefs bar.

This is only any good if you've got a big, high-res canvas to display it on -
hence it's only really becoming workable nowadays.
