It would be better to autojoin my posts in discussion if they go successively
-
Well, I agree with peppe & Volker (and my previous post :P). Think of two situations:
-
You post your opinion and after 5 minutes you'd like to add something (and nobody has replied/posted after you). You press edit button, which took 5 seconds more than action with pressing "post reply" (c'mon 5 sec!) and edit your post - as a result you get edited post with "post was edited by x on y" adnotation.
-
In popular (or even not popular) subforum there is discussion about some problem where only 2 (or few) users participate. User x writes that he/she have to test something to confirm problem/find solution. It may take from few hours to few days (or more). It'd be quite hard for other user to find the answer, because he's not getting notification e-mail or thread is on 2nd...nth page.
Maybe compromise would be autojoin if user posted in less then x minutes after original posting time.
