It was my opinion at first, too, but there are two nice features that
help overcome this.

First, the dark menu bar at the top of the forums page has a "New Posts"
option. When you select this, it shows only the subjects that have
received new posts since your last visit.

Second, when the "New Posts" are selected, if you click the little
checkmark box next to the subject lines, it takes you directly to the
entries that you haven't read.

In this way, it works very similar to traditional Usenet... only new
stuff is presented, and postings are "marked read" when you're done so
you don't have to wade through them again (although you can scroll up to
revisit them).
