Obviously saying that it "works fine" is subjective. For instance, I posted this and got caught up at work and then on a plane and completely forgot about it until today. Some sort of notification would have been cool if it would have gave me a visual cue that people are responding to my post. From what people have posted, I would argue that the "threads" link is a failed attempt at something nearing notifications. I literally never clicked it until today after years of using HN. At some point, someone thought it was a good idea to implement the tracking of all the conversations you participate in. Why not try to make it more useful? I think the suggestion for "threads (12)" is great. You can't possibly think that makes things too complex?
