I'm a very minor poster here, but I do try to drop by every day when
possible.

Sorry to be negative, but the search here sucks - I generally have to
view my profile to find threads I posted to. I'm reluctant to start
adding feeds to my reader in order to keep up. I wouldn't mind
getting an alert when a thread is updated (if I can specify on a
thread-by-thread basis only).

In terms of what to read - I check for post count and sometimes the
starring to decide whether to read particular threads. Also look at
the last poster - some folk are very worthy of a read.

Ignore virtually all threads about pagerank going from 4 to 3 'I'm
worried about my pagerank'. Might be interesting to see if there is
any correlation between thread title and responses given. Not sure if
JohnMu looked at this previously.

PS - I'm sure you wont remember the issue I got in touch with about
previously, but I followed up during the week [#176342323]
