Once we have displayed a "human readable" time such as '2 minutes' ago, it start to becomes wrong, increasing with time. Thus people coming back from phone calls, lunch, night shift, or whatever, are only vaguely informed or may be misguided by them. So if we cannot avoid these "human readable" stuff, we should at least allow users to find out what they really stand for.

The task doesn't indicate about which component is it. Doing this is probably a good design guideline, but the only place where it's used that I can recall now is StructuredDiscussion, and it's already done there. So I'm closing this task.
