Good points. I have a high tolerance for just glancing at and over threads I don't care about but monopolizing the front page is a legitimate issue.
I'm also not crazy about those little gems of promotion by someone who obviously joined just to post them and gives no sign of realizing there is any discussion to join here.

I think there are quite a lot of folk who, like you, use that subforum like browsing a bookstore. Which, to my mind, is great for all involved. And, as mentioned, there are features meant to assist in customising MR to personal preference so that you can see what you want to see.
Cheers,

I love the way New Posts can be customized. I hadn't seen that at any other forum but have used it to great advantage here. Kudos to whoever made sure Mobileread offers that feature.
