And what ya can't see doesn't hurt you. At least in this case. I'm much less exasperated over the things I can not change. So to speak.

That is, the people who rush to their computer to pose the latest Worry Wart/Oh Noes poll.

13. Use trash thread all the time

for different reasons, could be hidden post, self deleted post, locked post, something I'm not interested in or something I've already seen discussed, etc. Both are good features and I'm glad we have them.

I get upset seeing threads on animal cruelty, the subject line puts images in my head I can't put out of my mind. I know it's important to post them but it's just too painful for me to see again and again.

I trash posts when they talk about animal cruelty and I made an entire group disappear.
