...when you participate in a thread you aren't actually interested in and then it has to show up in your org thing all highlighted like you need to check it?

I am providing you with one of those threads now.

I don't even check those. I just let them die.

Unfortunately, I feel compelled to get rid of the highlighted threads. So I have to check them.

What drives me even more insane is when a thread I was interested in is highlighted and all kinds of people posted stuff I want to respond to, but I can't really because I'd have to bring it up from a million threads it's buried under.

Yes, yes I do. I wish there was a "remove from my thread list" feature on this site.

Even worse:

I hate when a thread WAS interesting, but then it's turned into a back and forth emoticon war or cliquey orger lovefest.

CortestheKiller said:

Yeah.

Or...when a thread is still interesting, but it says there are no replies. Then I go back to check and there actually are replies I haven't read. And yet it won't do me the courtesy of not telling me when there are replies on the crazy threads that are boring.
