Oh, tin isn't broken to be sure, and it is thoroughly embedded in my
muscle memory.  However, like Karsten, I would *really* like posting
and reading to be asynchronous with regard to each other.  Some
posts take seconds to write, and some more than a week (no lie).
I'd rather not have a locked reading interface for those longer
cases.
