That's a problem of lumping together so many things. Maybe Wordpress is significantly different to separate out, but in my experience blogs and personal sites can do threaded comments, and I wasn't aware of the "subscriptions" page, but it only applies to Wordpress, you can't do it with other sites, so I think I'll leave it as it stands. It's certainly not set up with that as an aim, it's all about the single broadcaster with multiple subscribers.

I have to admit that WP would be my preferred alternative but LJ is much more flexible and although it has quietened down alot of late I'll still be sticking with it.
