Also, if you're interested in the continuing discussion that occurs in a thread you will get notifications if you "save" the post. I'll sometimes get a notification and wonder "why the heck did I get this?" And then remember that I had "saved" that post.

Hope this helps lil

so for example - I only saw this comment because it included a shout-out to me. I NOW see that I can "save" a thread of conversation. I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT. So I just "saved" b_b's comment. If someone else responds to b_b (rather than to the original post) then in theory, I should get a notification - right? so that's my solution. If I had saved wrenauld's comment - I would have seen wilson's response to it. and by the way, further down on that thread there was a comment from you (TNG) about a friend of yours that I never saw. I'll go back and look. Maybe it was posted as a reply to someone else.

I would just save the entire post if you're interested in all activity on that post.

Would it then notify me if there is any activity at all?

Yes, that's right.
