Personally I only read threads that I'm interested in, judging by the titles. If I open a thread and it's not what I thought it was I just go on to the next one. For example, I haven't read any of the "American Attacks" threads. I get enough of that listening to the radio and watching TV! The good thing about an on-line situation is that you can ignore the people/topics you don't care for without being rude!
