Stay tuned. This has been a very active topic behind the scenes and Todd already
has something in test that might ameliorate this.

I've been thinking that it might be very useful if LUGNET had a mode (in the web
interface) where only the first message in each thread were displayed.  This
would make it much easier for people to ignore the topics that they don't wish
to read even when an avalanche of off-topic posts fills a newsgroup.

Perhaps each thread should be individually expandable/collapsible with this view
option. Sometimes a thread starts out uninteresting to me, but a turn piques my
interest and I start following. I'd hate to miss stuff like that (as I read
exclusively via the web interface) if it displayed all threads as collapsed.

Then again, I could always just leave the option off entirely, and get annoyed
by threads that bore me or irritate me ;-)
