Am I the only one that hits the "Mark all topics read" thing on most forums, without reading anything?

So, what happens when you do that? Is there a benefit?

When you go to a discussion board it says above it, on the right hand top, "mark all topics read". And I usually do that on some boards just to get the damn thing to quit telling me there is a new post. Mainly in the National News section. I have been in Gov. work for nearly 35 years and if we would have had computers back then, I bet I could copy and paste some of the same crap I am reading today.

You know, that's not a bad idea. I get tired of the same old same old in that section. And being in government work myself, I can relate!

You answered while I was typing Amom. It is not the only topic, but the most deleted. It depends on who is typing at the time. Some are like a broken record and I don't need that crap.

The only time I ever used it was when I came back from my hiatus. Too much to bother trying to catch up on. Otherwise I'm more or less responsible for like a third of the posts here anyway, so....

Is there any way to mark as read just one particular poster?

Seeing who made the last post does usually have some bearing on my decision. Laughing

I have a new topic I do it to now. Religion. Faster than the politics crap.
And I have been in and out of politics for over 35 years.
