This post has only covered two updates and has already over 200 comments. If the agreed-upon guideline is “after 500 comments, someone should start a new thread”, then a lot of us will get a chance to do so.
I thought of waiting for a new chapter, but the number of “load more comments” links got annoying enough for me to start the new thread right away (especially since it broke my search the page for “29 aug” method of reading new comments).
Yeah, I have to search for ‘load more comments’ before searching for the date. Then I also have to search for ‘loading’ (since occasionally it doesn’t load) and ‘continue this thread’, opening a new tab for each of these, where I begin again.
Or I could see what this RSS thing the kids are talking about does for me.
Ha, I was just waiting for a new chapter to go up to post one.
Drat! It looks like you missed out on a couple of hundred karma and the chance to have all new insights and comments appear in your inbox! ;)
Would you mind going and editing the previous post with a forward reference? Bidirectional linked lists are far easier to navigate.
I put the link in; thanks for the reminder.
And comments on my top-level posts don’t appear in my inbox, only (direct) replies to my comments. Is that different for you?
They don’t? I haven’t actually written all that many posts to be honest.

Now my comment is wreaking havoc on the system that it describes!
If you want to track comments, it needs to update awfully often—I recommend Google Reader.
