Fascinating.
There's a wee groundswell for both doing something, and doing nothing. However in our Democratic Liberal Dictatorship here, we've got a poll where the majority says don't split it.
So why not roll along as we are for another wee while, and test the views again in 6 months or so?
In practical terms, the View New Posts search returns a couple of pages of material each day...I accept that this becomes several pages if you have been on hols but that's not the Forum's fault, you should be taking your Blackberry XDA Portable SuperComputer thingy to the beach with you if it matters that much. Or get a "holidaymakers digest" from a couple of buddies when you come back!
But in practical terms this means you are not having to scan all that much - and you can select from a few different "skins" that change the readability of the titles, etc. So that's a bit of user-choice there too.
From a personal opinion point of view, I also see General Chat as our clubhouse and there's actually a lot to be gained from surfing through it and spotting the odd bit of harmless drivel that you might not otherwise see. In some cases it has fair made my day, just like hearing a good joke from the table next door in the pub

PS - way back when the earth cooled, you had no choice on what to scan as it all piled into your Inbox regardless...futile attempts to create Inbox rules by some were generally abandoned...and the old-fashioned trick of "reading the subject" came back into play
Perhaps we should just crack down on crappy or cryptic titles. You know like the ones on emails entitled "Hi" etc....
