FWIW, here's a change that I would find beneficial:
At the bottom of a post, which is either a reply and/or has a follow-up,
we see something like the following example:
• Follow-Ups:
◦ Re: Hangs on connect to UNIX socket being listened on in the same process (was: Cygwin hanging in pselect)
◾ From: Erik Bray
• References:
◦ Re: Hangs on connect to UNIX socket being listened on in the same process (was: Cygwin hanging in pselect)
◾ From: Erik Bray
I would find it helpful to follow the users’ names with the date of the
posting. This would be especially useful when there is a long list of
either follows-up or references to help find the one being sought.
For example:
◾ From: Erik Bray, Mon, 9 Jan 2017 14:29:00 +0100
