Personally, I use "Mark Thread as Read" the most as well, when not using the
Mark button to toggle the read status. If I want to mark the entire group as
read, I'll right-click the newsgroup.
BTW, where exactly are you keeping the statistics on what selection most users
use when clicking the Mark button? Did you take a surevey? Was it in the group?
I must've missed it.
