How do you monitor your comments for replies?

I've been on HN for a relatively short time, and have had an account for even lesser time (>1 year). I was curious - how do the veterans, and new(er) users of HackerNews monitor their accounts for comments as there are no "notification" channels?

What I generally do is - keep account->comments tab open and periodically refresh. I'd imagine there are more efficient ways about this though.
