Mute functionality for long-running and popular threads

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Two scenarios where "mute this thread" functionality would be potentially
useful:

1.  Write a "Jaiku better than Twitter? Vote, vote, vote!" post.
2.  Watch your overview and inbox fill up with "Jaiku!" comments.

or

1.  Make an enthusiastic comment on the immensely active "Jaiku better than
Twitter? Vote, vote, vote!" post.
2.  Watch your overview and inbox fill up with "+1" comments.

Interesting. This would be better implemented as a list of users attached to a 
post.
The list would contain all the eligible users who have muted the thread 
attached to
that post.

That way if the hypothetical "Vote, vote, vote" thread became interesting you 
could
unmute it. This suggests that we'd need a UI for muting/unmuting.

We would also need some logic so that if a user posts on a thread _after_ 
they've
muted the thread then the thread becomes unmuted.

Hmm. Maybe we should have the ability to mute/unmute a contact as well? It 
would have
to follow the same rules as thread muting though and it could get very 
confusing.
