I paused before typing DBW to that yes, the context was clear enough that I could use it. But nooooo, now you had to bring in [livejournal.com profile] deadbrowalking. ;-)

I agree that random-member and OP have somewhat different responsibilities on a given post, but I'm not sure I agree that the differences are as huge as all that. Assuming the original post was sound (which isn't a trivial assumption, I acknowledge), the OP gets timely notification of what comments are being made, and that's it. (On DBW you're not going to use your other OP powers, such as freezing threads. I don't think. That would the same can of worms as screening comments.)

Which brings me back to: it seems I should be keeping a tab for DBW open in my browser, and when I'm online take a scan down the comm for ballooning thread counts every once in a while. Of course, "ballooning" means I would already be late to the game, but...
