And once you open it and confirm that the topic is not of interest to you, why do you keep reading and more importantly why do you feel the need to post only to say that you are not remotely interested ?
If it's not of interest I usually only read the OP and then close it out and rarely ever go back to that thread. If it's something I know nothing about, my opinion on it is of no use and unless I'm wanting to ask a question, for curiosities sake, there's no reason for me to post on it.

And one last night, as it relates to this site. If you could "ignore" threads (turn them off so you can't see them) that don't remotely interest you, would you choose to do so?
Nope, sometimes I do learn things from threads that I'm not interest in...so having them on ignore would prevent me from possibly learning something new.
