Well, I think it makes sense FWIW.
But I also think that displaying the second is quite useless, since
there're no real point to know this information. Are there any way to
skip them ?
Also maybe it would be nice to simplify the elapsed time format. For
example, displaying this:
5 weeks, 1 day, 3 hours, 51 minutes, 26 seconds ago
is quite ugly.
What is important is 5 weeks, the rest becomes irrevelant. So it would
be nice if we could round the elapsed time.
BTW are there any ways to make such change in the group buffer ?
Thanks
