Thread:Feedback/Watchlist spam/reply (3)

This seems to be a bug; if I'm already watching the root node, there should be no need to watch subtrees separately. What probably happens is that every time I post a comment (and have "watch thread" on by default since I'm already watching the thread) the subthread starting with my post is unnecessarily added to my watchlist.

(Which raises the question: if I check "watch this" when replying on a previously unwatched thread, will I only watch for replies to my comment?)
