Actually, that's the quickest I've seen one of Traveller's posts appear. It took me forever to figure out who it was, usually I don't see his posts until the next day, earliest.

I understand the point of pre-mod in general, but it can be really disruptive to a conversation.

Actually I think Nick must have done that intentionally, because you can't reply to a Hidden post, can you?

Who ever looks at the subject of the last posting, though.

I did know that. And occasionally I look. But unless I have a good reason to I usually don't change it. It makes for a nice running history of the convo.

I generally navigate using the MP page, and the subject line doesn't change from the original on that.

I have smiley - book-marked an URL that takes me to "My Most Recent Conversations".
It is easy to see which conversations have been active since I left, so naturally I read the original subject line before clicking it.
I frequently scroll back to see what's been added (by myself or others) since I last participated in said conversation. It's so easy to forget.

Would it be incorrect to state that we have reached an advanced state of dissolution at this point? smiley - winkeye
