Just existing as a first time parent. I have a huge amount of respect for anyone that has two or more children, because one is already stretching me to my limits. To get anything accomplished requires stealing time from something else. So over time, everything is in a state of being half-assed, overdue, or forgotten.

I agree. Even when the megathread included a list of posts relevant to a topic, whatever nuance was there gets lost in the grand comment thread. We really need a tagging and filtering system so that users can opt out of topics.

That way, it’s not incumbent on mods to make a Megathread, or make a judgement call on whether there are too many posts on any one topic.
