So what? Are you compelled to click them open for some reason? Feel free to ignore them. Complaining about them, in light of the fact you can simply ignore them if you choose to, is lame indeed.

What you are telling us is that you cannot choose to ignore them, ergo you have no self control and, instead, want such threads to be limited in number in order to satisfy your lack of self control and personal sense of "what should be" vs. what is.

Btw, way to put yourself in your fellow pilots shoes and show support for them. /sarc

One can only imagine your response to a post like your's if the proverbial shoe was on your foot instead of DALPAs.
