"If it is closed, you should already know about that without needing a special magic notification" Oh, boy, sometimes Jeff has a way of sounding like a jerk. You know how people know about things that have happened? With notifications. How do you learn about things without notifications? Now that is magic. Sigh.

I post a comment in order as a way to persuade myself not to downvote stale, out-of-date answer posts.
