German question

German is my mother tongue, but somehow, this one's a real puzzler for me right now.

I'm looking for the right preposition. I'm not sure which of the following is correct:

  1. Wer in einem Trollfaden kommentiert, verlängert unser Leiden.

  2. Wer auf einem Trollfaden kommentiert, verlängert unser Leiden.

  3. Wer auf einen Trollfaden kommentiert, verlängert unser Leiden.

  4. Wer einen Trollfaden kommentiert, verlängert unser Leiden.


I should really know this, but my mind is drawing a blank. Help, anyone?
