New item hide and seek

Feb 9 22:03 UTC 2000

This is not a new topic, but every time I join a new conference or a
rollover, I am only informed of the existence of two items.  I know this
practice was instituted so as to avoid overwhelming those joining an
existing item, but I would like to discuss the possibility of either
reverting to "full disclosure" or of the technical feasibility of giving
users the choice.

I'd like to see something like this too. Maybe a "fixnew" command to
complement fixseen so that everything will be marked new.
