Oh come on.. I read lots of crap on here now and the last time I was
subscribed. It's one thing to read it, it's another to read it over and over
and over until it's makes you sick! I don't complain about threads often but
come on.. This horse has been beat down and then some. All I was suggesting
is that we bring it to an end.
Instead let's have a three day discussion about how I should have not
asked such a ludicrous thing..

Hello support,
Yes, you know, there are many threads on this list that never interest
me. They should each have their own list so that I don't have to be
bothered.
After all, expecting me to be able to skip the threads I am not
interested in is expecting way too much of me, right?
