yes, of course, you are right. I was considering this also. It actually turns out to be a pretty tricky problem. I'm not sure how I'm going to tackle it - hopefully inspiration will hit. Ideally, I'd like to build a general purpose tool that can tell each person what is new since they last looked. Sort of hard though because you'd have to keep track of everything everyone looks at (or at least the last time everyone looked at everything.) Short of that there are other, maybe better, tacts - like maybe displaying an outline form of all the levels at once. That's difficult for me to build also though... I don't know. This is what I've been waking up thinking about in the middle of the night. I guess really it makes more sense for conversations to just go linearly like this thread, and not down down down through layers. Anyway, I like that you see the hardest problem right away.
