Add Comments to Watchlist?

I really like the new(?) feature of the Watchlist that enables me to display a list of changes to profiles of direct ancestors, whether or not I am on the trusted list of those ancestors' profiles. I only discovered this feature; it's great.

Another wonderful feature that would aid collaboration greatly is to be able to "watch" those profiles where I leave a comment. In other words, there would be, on the Watchlist page, a "tab" for "Comments" and it would list in reverse chronological order (most recent up top) a list of those profiles where I left a comment.

I frequently need to check on the status of such comments-- in particular, I need to follow up on those that have had no response, but as far as I know, there's no easy way to find them.

Any possibility for such a feature?

Unless you unselect the option when you are posting a comment, you will receive an email if someone replies to the comment you left. I believe you also get an email with a copy of your original comment from the system, so as long as you save those emails off into a folder somewhere you can have your list that way.

Thanks, Jonathan. I'm aware of this. I'm seeking a modification to the Watchlist that would enable an online compilation of my comments.
Jonathan, That only works if the person "replies" to your comment. I've found that some people just add a new comment, and I don't see it unless I happen to come across the profile again.
