I won't go so far as to claim that I've deprived my fellow community members of useful and helpful information during my absence, but, well, I hope I was missed. Oh, and assisting in planning a DO is relatively hard when I can't log in to FT for two weeks!

Instead, I spent a good hour or two today simply opening 249 tabs in Firefox: 75 or so from my subscribed threads and another 175 or so by combing through several pages of new, unread threads in the forums I subscribe to.

It seems insane that I have to do this--ignore FT completely for two weeks and then spend over an hour simply opening threads to read (not to mention actually reading them, which process I'm just starting now)--because of a minor technical thing that could be relatively easily implemented.
