OMG! The Hide Thread Button.

[KittyWampus]

it works. Sometimes I forget it's there.

What a relief.

[Connie_Corleone]

1. I forgot all about it.

Maybe I should use it so I can keep my sanity until the next OUTRAGE OF THE WEEK surfaces.

[BelgianMadCow]

2. NEVER used it before

but now I have to or I am getting waaaay to bored.

[porphyrian]

3. It's the best feature yet. - n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

4. Great feature, or the greatest feature?

[KittyWampus]

7. what a great suggestion.

[BelgianMadCow]

[uppityperson]

[11 Bravo]

10. I've still never used it ... (but was sorely tempted today).

[lapislzi]

11. I have hidden more threads today than I have in all my years on DU

Between breastfeeding and tasers...don't tell me there's NOTHING else going on in the world. Oh, yeah, BritneyBradAngelinaJennifer did something or other...

[spindoctor]

12. A little fall cleaning

Out goes anything taser and/or kerry at this time
Out goes Barry Fucking Manilow
Actually, I can do without Sally Fields as well
Definitely getting rid of all the neo-feminist shit, not limited to breast feeding and Bill Maher
Ralph Nader threads, out.
Brittney Spears, Janet Jackson, Paris Hilton....now where have they gone?
A bunch of silly polls...hmm...forget it. Trash!
Anything with a subject in all caps can go.

Ahh, now I'm getting somewhere

I'm pitching everything Al Gore too. I'll start paying attention IF he runs (heaven forbid).
Vista, Microsoft and Bill Gates threads in the dumpster.
DU This poll threads....boring.

Job well done. That just leaves a hand full of threads about the ignore function, and they can go out the window too.

16. I really believe many of the threads showing up in General Discussion

actually should be moved to DU Lounge.
Also appreciate the "hide thread" feature.

[ElizabethDC]

13. Thanks for the reminder - I often forget it's there, too! n/t

[IDemo]

14. Still waiting for a 'hide threads by keyword' feature

[goodgd_yall]

15. Never used it

I like to be open-minded. I can't think of anything I would allow a system to decide for me rather than my own eyes and brain.
