I installed a new plugin that adds a very useful feature to this site. When you are leaving a comment you will now notice a checkbox labeled "Subscribe to comments by email." Tick that box before you submit your comment, and when someone else comments, you will get an e-mail notifying you. I hope this makes it easier to keep conversations going.

The notification e-mail will also contain a link allowing you to unsubscribe once you lose interest in a conversation.

Thanks to YaBBa for writing this plugin.
