On the other hand there are people who asks to answer on the original page to mantain the discussion joined. They add it to watchlist and (I guess) don't work too bad for them or would go on with it :P
Right - those people are taking definitely a suboptimal solution (monitoring someone else's talk page??), for the sake of cohesion. It would be good if you don't have to make that trade-off.
Incidentally, that strategy works really badly for users who receive a lot of messages, such as vandals or Jimbo. Ever tried leaving Jimbo a message and waiting to see if he replies to it? :) (not a slur on Jimbo, just everyone uses his talk page as a general discussion forum...)
