Yeah, but I also kinda wish it didn't do this :) It's similar to sending a
series, and somebody replying saying 'well this is totally unrelated but <blah
blah blah>' and expecting a reply :>)

You'd want that person to just submit a patch for the issue or a [DISCUSSION] or
[BUG] thread or something, but interrupting, possibly delaying + taking people's
(usually very limited) time on something unrelated is just unhelpful I think.

I'd prefer Sashiko had a passive mode that checked for existing stuff elsewhere,
and it saved the tokens doing it for a new series :)

Just my 2 pence!
