It could be simply to demonstrate that when you post only to judge a thread or a fellow poster in a thread - you only refresh it?

And that if you should not approve - if you simply ignore the offending post or thread - in time it will fall off the bottom of the world?

Well, no...unless he decides to stop being the first one to come onto the thread each day with some cogent comment, and to refresh it.
