=C2=A0 ***** CONVERSATION [2017-01-15 Sun 14:09] talked with carsten

i sort these in the outline.=C2=A0 they are always visible at the bottom of=
every subtree, in time order.=C2=A0 i can follow a thread by just reading the headers.=C2=A0 i can quickly do a binary search to find a date.=C2=A0 i= can
select a region without selecting parents.=C2=A0 they show up nicely in the=
agenda.=C2=A0 i sort them in the agenda also.=C2=A0 links to them work fine= .
the date information i need is there without changing visibility, yet
unobtrusive.

it might sound silly to bring it up, but everybody i have told to this
has had an aha moment and been enthusiastic.

just as an aside.
