>b) It would be nice if individual messages could be marked with some icon that designated them as "trailers" (or non-technical, or something like that). This way, if in a hurry, we could skip over the "thank you Sergey" followed by the "you're welcome" messages. I don't want to discourage people leaving those messages--it would just be nice to flag them to allow avoidance when clicking (and in search results). Unlike with the 3-star feature, where the originator makes the designation, this flag would be set by the person writing the message, as a checkbox before submitting. Maybe: [X] No New Content

If it annoys you so much why don't you put me on the twit filter?
