So you are missing discussions where you added an ID, and might need to reconsider because the ID has moved on?
Say you have an obs of an insect. Not sure if it is A or B. You ask a relevant insect specialist for help. Specialist comments - not B because … or it is actually C because … You say thanks - that’s nice, but. You need to withdraw your ID of A, so that the ID of C is the new Needs ID.
If you get an informed reply to your question, the onus is on YOU to respond appropriately.
Management of Notifications is a long-standing problem. On an active obs, all the previous identifiers get notified.
John added an ID.

And withdrew his ID,
then added it again. (Why?)

John @mentioned you.
Our only option is to not see agreeing IDs. But I want to see WHO agreed.
