I am having trouble scanning the HPMoR thread for topics I’m interested in due to both it’s length and the lack of a hierarchical organization by topic. I would appreciate any help with this problem since I do not want to make comments that are simple duplicates of previous comments I failed to notice. With that in mind, is there a discussion forum or some method to scan the HPMoR discussion thread that doesn’t involve a lot of effort? I have not found organizing comments by points to be useful in this respect.
Edit: I’m new and this is my 1st comment. I’ve read a lot of the sequences, but I don’t know my way around yet. It’s quite possible I’m missing a lot about how things work here.
You’re right, the MOR discussion threads aren’t very well organized for that. They work well enough for having an ongoing discussion, but not so well as an archive of the discussion that’s already happened.
If you have a particular subject in mind and you want to see what’s been posted about it, the simplest thing is probably to search the thread(s) for relevant keywords, including the chapter number. You could either use ctrl+f on each one of the threads that might contain relevant discussion, or the site’s search function.
Don’t worry so much about duplicating previous comments. It’s worth doing a quick search to try to avoid it, but when it happens it’s not so bad (especially with threads like these ones).
If you don’t have a particular subject in mind and you just want to skim the discussion to see what’s interesting, I don’t have anything better to suggest than sorting by karma points.
