in reply to "Watching" (and possibly "ignoring") threads

Is there a reason that Recently Active Threads is not sufficient for the purpose?

Incidentally tracking replies to nodes is not as easy as it sounds. Theres a lot of subtle issues associated to it that arent so easy to resolve.

    Well, Recently Active Threads is a handy resource and I do use it, but it's not quite the same thing. The obvious difference is the common one between push and pull UIs.

    Indeed, I hope not to have conveyed the impression I thought it to be different. I can imagine full well that it wouldn't be an easy task. I was just wondering wether there were any ongoing project in that direction...

    BTW: nice .sig!
