One that says, "Yes, but I'm sorry I did."

I hate running up the post counts of dumb postings -- but you don't know it's dumb until you look.

Like this one. :)

Lol, funny, just today I thought we might need something like negative recommendations for threads that should appear on a separate page in contrast to the Greatest page or something like this.
Maybe something like a puking star as the symbol ;).

2. Viewer's remorse!

Yes, I also think it shouldn't count if the same person keeps looking at the same thread. I've gone back to a thread to read new posts and noticed it counts my view.

3. LOL... yeah, "viewer's remorse" is the perfect phrase.

We could also use a full-time thread combiner, wading through 400 threads on the same distraction du jour causes many good topics to sink into obscurity simply because they are drowned out.
