Agree!
That's why many of us, do not go to check "New Posts" when we come to the Quilting Board.
Instead, we go to "Archive" which lets us see the new threads listed in chronological order. If you post to the thread, you will get an auto-notice each time there is a new post. If you don't post, but want to follow the discussion, you can subscribe, which also gets you the auto-notice with each new post. You can unsubscribe, if you do not want to follow any longer.
And bonus ... if you have no interest at all in a specific thread, then you'll never see anything about it again, if you have not posted or subscribed.
It all works pretty nice ... and makes more efficient use of your time online!
