Indeed, and that is because there is only one feed, precisely "recent questions feed" [1] on emacs.sx. If you check out nntp: news.gwene.org and make a search for "comments", you see that many blogs have a separate feed for comments. I can't see why the SX question solution can't be easily extended to include answers and comments, but I don't know the details. The best solution would be to have only one feed that would result in a threaded Gnus summary where SX answers and comments (and blog comments) were subordinated the question (just like we get it for mail/listbots/Usenet). Because it is such a natural thing to wish for, I suspect we are not the first to react like this and probably there are technical complications. It looks simple but because it isn't done I suspect it isn't. The step after that would be to be able to answer (and add comments) just by replying to the OP as we are also accustomed to. If we can make the SX sites, blogs, and so on behave our way I'd start participating day one. I interpret Gwene as a step in that direction, toward the desired and magical but realistic (or possible I should say) all access interface-independent future of manual as well as automatic data processing... > It also seemed that the questions that I read were > very short, possibly just one paragraph and with no > code examples. A big disappointment! Isn't it exactly the way they write them? I see quite long posts right now which include code. But if stuff do appear in abbreviated form that is a feed issue as well which should (again if so) be directed to the Emacs SX people. Gnus just shows the data.
