I know I am new to the Everything engine, and still not familiar with it's construction, but I thought it might be a good idea, if possible, to add the 'number of replies' field to the summary line in newest nodes.

I believe this would help ascertain new questions all get their due, and would save the community time going over nodes that have been properly pummeled. (I'm sorry, I'm @work, there's a limit to how much time I can spend here, and I just want it to be more constructive).

For other sections, such as Meditations, I believe it could give a sense of 'where the action is', which has both its merits and its downside.

What do you think?

    The 'I've checked all these' button at the bottom clears the currently listed nodes. Pressing that button regulary will help you keep track on which nodes are newer. There are also several third party Node tools that can help you with this. Check PerlMonks Related Scripts for some nice scripts.
