But at the same time, don't we just... remember what we just read?
And if not, there is always the manual refresh button
Some of us don't read all 25 threads on a page in reverse chronological order (which is indeed a partial workaround), but prefer to look at threads of higher interest first.
Also, if reading for half an hour during a high comment period, several of the threads may have new posts. So we are being forced to refresh quite frequently.
