In all honesty, this means very little to me. I have notes disabled on Newest Nodes expressly because there's so many of them that it makes the page unwieldly, slow, and it makes it harder to find what I want (especially when I browse PM in 132x25 text mode, which I do very often).

If it helps, look at it this way: PM is so great in my opinion that you don't need to change it. :)
