You can look for files that might have changed, say, in the last 7
days, in your home directory tree with something like this:
find ~/ -type f -mtime -7 -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort -n | less
"How to ask question ONLY loosely related to another thread?" is really
two separate questions:
1. This post is an example of one in which quoting a portion of
a previous post gives *all* the context required to answer
the question(s) posed.
2. A second situation is where the previous post doesn't/can't
provide all the context required to answer the question(s) posed.
The temptation in this case is to "hijack" the previous thread
by starting a sub-thread (perhaps with a different or modified
subject line).
IOW, how does one link to the previous thread so a potential
respondent can conveniently know the total context?
P.S. Questions raised by Russell's post are coming ;}
