Oh, I see. Well, that could probably be changed. One thing to think
about with the current system is that typically only the most relevant
links get added, as opposed to the entire thread. Now, the bad news
is that means things often don't get added at all. The good news is
that typically when people do update it, the add only the relevant
things, thus avoiding filling it up with a massive amount of crap. I
don't know whether that works out to a bug or a feature.
