If there was an easy way to get the initial post of each thread, then you could
quickly cull out [or simply ignore] all threads you don't care about [such as
"dispute X"] and select only those which fit your individual interests.  You
would simply open the initial post to your desired thread, and then look at the
bottom of that posted message to find those posts you had not yet read.

For example, on r.g.c.c., I download the headers and display them as expanded
threads.  For those threads which I refuse to read, I click the "-" symbol next
to the first displayed message in the undesireable thread, and it becomes a "+".
 Then I select the thread with the "+" sign beside it and mark it as read.
Since I display only unread threads, then by jumping out and then back into
r.g.c.c., the threads I marked as read disappear.  I then proceed to read the
threads which I care about.

Why can't this be done on CCC?
