Pretty sure his ask away thread got bumped right before he showed up; actually thought at the time it might have been what brought him here, if he gets notices. Or could have just been passing by and saw it at the top of the list of basic discussion.
notifications?
i think you can have email notifications whenever someone posts in a thread you are following.
Try the button at the bottom that says notify.
I'm not gonna do it. I don't like email.
Me neither. But, if Gareth clicked that button, it is no surprise he can show up after someone posts in this thread.
Sorry to take away the suspense.
Trying to figure out who the birdy was whispering in the ears of Gareth was more fun, of course.
