I thout Nilly already did that: "the first post 'watch-and-post' post starts..."

No, what I want is a link in the first watch and post post, a "If you don't want to read over 75 posts of "I knew it!" and "XANDER!!!" and "Her hair!", click here to get to where they end."
... Doesn't she do that too?
I think Hil means she wants it in the thread rather than in Nillytown.
Right -- a link to skip to the end of "watch and post".
That shouldn't be hard to do.
Any stompy could do it in seconds. I guess the issues are: (1) Does anyone object to the concept, and (2) would anyone object to having their post edited by a stompy to add this info?
Anyone who would object could just be sure not to be the first watch-n-post poster, no?
I think a stompy adding a line of "Watch-n-post ends here" is a great idea. (And I can't imagine anyone objecting to that kind of edit, especially to a post as content-free as the watch-n-posts usually are.)
would anyone object to having their post edited by a stompy to add this info?
You can avoid this by just having a Stompey make a post just before 8:00, then they could just edit their own post.
Although I will go on record as saying I wouldn't care at all if my post were edited to include a link.
