How do you keep track of HN conversations?
tokenadult: I usually use the "threads" link (what you call the "comments" page) to keep track of current conversations, but I also use site-restricted Google search, e.g.,http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Anews.ycombinator.com+b...on whatever subject is of current interest to double-check whatever threads may be attracting new comments. The interface here does require a lot more drilling down to follow my submissions than to follow replies to my comments, which I agree is an inconvenience.
