Does anyone, here, ever "Mark Thread as Read" in their newsgroups??

And, no matter how many times I click on "Mark Thread as Read", the
figures still stand ... I'm told I still have 12 Unread out of 42.
It didn't worry me much .... until tonight, when I was reading (I think,
another) group, one of the threads that I had "Mark Tread as
Read"/"Message Ignore Thread" was showing as 16 unread out of 48, or
some such, and all these unread messages were in "twigs" that I hadn't
contributed to but the "twig" that I had contributed to *WAS* marked as
read.
This leads me to ask .... When I click on "Mark Thread as Read" does
SeaMonkey really mark the entire thread as read (as it should) or does
it just mark the TWIG as read ... which in many threads would be enough??
I make a lot of use of that, and it works *most* of the time.
Occasionally, I will find threads where all the messages have been
marked read, but individual threads still show an unread count that's
higher than zero. I'm most often aware of this in cases where all the
messages in a newsgroup have been marked read, but there's still a few
threads that indicate that they have unread messages.
For that, I've found that the only work-around is to kill the thread
entirely, to keep the messages from continuing to be displayed.
I'm guessing that there's a bug somewhere (and probably in code taken
from Thunderbird) that it's one of those things that's low enough
priority, that even if a BugZilla report gets filed (assuming that there
isn't a case already), it will probably never get addressed. For the
most part, this is an issue that more annoyance than true problem.
