NRTFT - too long!
How rude! To me that means: All your opinions are irrelevant read mine mine I tell you mine it's the only one that counts.

I have set mn to show me 500 posts a page so scrolling thru to read the OP's posts highlighted in Elephants breath is easy. If I'm posting on a thread my posts are a fetching shade of lilac but if a thread is too long for me to be arsed to read I won't comment on it on the assumption someone has said what I was going to say already. Some threads just require personal anecdote but I am wary of them since a. Jeffrey and b. seeing a comment with my username printed in a daily newspaper requiring yet another name change which I keep changing as I miss my old name

If it's too long for you to read, then pick a thread that isn't so long instead.

Not that difficult, if discovering how the thread has moved on us too much.

After all, there isn't exactly a shortage of threads.

Well if you had rtft op, you'd see that those of us who have registered recently can't see 500 at a time. 100 max.

Yeah but I don't want to read a different thread. I want to read the thread I've posted on. There are no rules in what you can post I and its a bit that some people get annoyed that their 'words of wisdom' have been missed by someone who isn't that interested in their contribution.

And as an op I prefer to get as many useful responses as possible not just the 12 fuckers who got in a Bun fight for 10 pages

If you start a thread then its manners to read all the replies really.

There are no rules on MN though so everyone can post how they like. Plus 'Hide thread' is v useful.

mycatwantstokillme1 Have you found out how to highlight the OP's posts and your own posts yet? At least that makes them easy to spot as you scroll down. There isn't a way of only seeing OP update posts though, if that was what you meant.

YANBU I get quite upset when people start ignoring my updates on threads and telling me stuff I've already replied to. What's the point? Very much "only my opinion matters"
