Detail mode. This is how I use the comments:
I arrive at the What's New page via bookmark.
If there is a new topic of interest, I investigate, and comment if
inspired.
If the 'last comment' time is more recent than the last time I logged
on, I review the recent comments.
A minimal visit is two clicks (What's New, recent comments). Usually I
visit at least every other day. If the comments were in summary, I would
have to expand each one to see what it's about.
By way of explanation, I attempt to reduce the amount of typing and mousing
I do to a minimum. Many of my older, professional IT colleagues have
become diabled due to repetitive motion injuries. I have many years left
to work, and I spend 8 hours a day in front of my workstation earning a
living, then come home and play with my personal computer. I would like to
be able to enjoy my computer in retirement without wrist braces and voice
response.
