Confused by a Mylot notification

Tweet

As we all know, when someone mentions us on Mylot or responds, comments etcetera we receive a notification. Clicking on the link takes us directly to the relevant comment or response, making the system very easy to follow. Yesterday @LoriAMoore posted a discussion and mentioned me in the content, but she used my screen name instead of my username so it did not generate a notification. I saw the post anyway and responded, so the name did not really matter. Recently I received a notification, but clicking on it simply opened the discussion and did not select a comment or response. I tried the link several times, then finally resorted to scrolling through the discussion and opening each column, but to no avail. Eventually I discovered the reason. She had edited the discussion to change Koalemos into Asylum, which automatically generated a notification because I had been mentioned. I can imagine her giggling while doing this and thinking “This will confuse the old fool”.
