What Spey (Sajuuk) said is very true, the lack of notifications for one party is quite irritating, plus most talk pages aren't really for long conversations, as there is chat for that and the forum to answer questions (correct me if I am wrong, but again, wouldn't it be easier to converse on chat and ask questions on the forum?). Also, loading long talk pages that eventually result can be a hassle, as some people are way too lazy to archive (I'll probably be guilty if my talk page went longer)

Talk pages are kinda like letterboxes for others to post messages, in my opinion. It does not make sense to put one's letter to a friend back into your own letterbox, then wait for your friend to come to your letterbox to collect the mail to be sent to him. Similar for talkpages...

But still, to each his own, I guess. If there is a dire need, I guess conversations on only one talk page would be fine. But wouldn't that essentially make the talk page a pseudo-message board?
