Ask HN: Would you like to see notifications in HackerNews?

I often miss out on responses and conversations die on HN. I have to revisit a page or check my profile to see if anyone has responded. Some, simple implementation of notifications would remedy that. I was wondering if other people felt the same way?

I know there was a lot of buzz about getting an official Show HN section which eventually was implemented. So I thought I'd throw this out there and see if there was support for the idea.
