I'm curious: why do most "User talk" discussions take place on two pages simultaneously? E.g. Fred posts on Sally's talk page; instead of replying directly Sally posts her response on Fred's talk page; he responds again on hers (threading as a reply to his initial post), etc, etc. Is there a reason this emerged as a convention, rather than just keeping the discussion where it originated? It makes reading an entire conversation ...rather trying, when you might want to for reference.
