Stuff you never use on the boards

I just noticed that when you're in a thread, it has "Next topic" and "Previous Topic" links at the top. In my entire life I've never clicked on these. This is not a criticism so much as a curious observation.

Seems to me a discussion board is very "random-access," that is, with threads being bumped around all the time, "Next" and "Previous" are kind of meaningless. Also, who really wants to read them all? Don't we just click on the titles that we find interesting?

Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Another funny thing...back when that one thread with no title was up, all anyone had to do with click the "jump to last post." Apparently not too many people use it...I found this strange...I almost ALWAYS use that link rather than the thread title--saves me scrolling down the bottom.
Fear is the mind-killer.

Yeah, I never use the logoff function. That's getting to be a problem...
