Absolutely this! Its got to the point I avoid many of the longer threads on my commute. I thought it was just me.
As a wider point, I avoid many of the multi-year monster threads on the aa and Hilton sub-forums for the same reason. So, yes, does seem to be a wider functionality point.
Back to the topic in hand. I have no doubt there is some subtle distinction between the Tier Points thread and Premium fares thread (Is there a non-Premium fares thread?), but it has been lost on me these last three years and no doubt on many of the newer visitors or more infrequent users.
