Fragmented discussions are a pain.
Interpersonal communication does not work when messages are left on individual users' talk pages rather than threaded, especially when a third party wishes to read or reply.
If you and I are communicating, I will arbitrarily choose to thread messages on either your talk page or mine to aggregate messages on. If the conversation is about an article I will try to aggregate on the article's talk page.
- If the conversation is on your talk page or an article talk page, I will "watch" it.
- If the conversation is on my talk page or an article talk page and I think that you may not be watching it, I will link to it in a note on your talk page, or in the edit summary of an empty edit.
