Oh, By the way Emecks. There's a thread somewhere here, about 1400 posts long, and soemwhere in the 'early middle' section of the first round of posts you made an interesting post.
And I have just added a side note you might be interested in.
teeheehee.
*Smiles hugely and allows loads of saliva to poor down chin.- Oh aye, thanks for bringing my OCD to the fore again.emecks

*undog-ears, reads boring sidenotes, dog-ears again

* wonders what drgs might have seen that I might have missed, so also undog-ears, reads boring sidenotes, dog-ears again. Vows not to worry too much about drgs' gaining additional knowledge from past side-notes.

dog ear is the new ignore

It's named 'dog-ear' from the invention of bookmarks which were made from the overly large ears of some english hounds. So I can understand your subconscious guilt.

As an aside, but it just dropped into my mind and has similar sensitivities as your OP Emecks...
I was having a quick look at QBN at the weekend with my missus sat next to me on the sofa. She'd never seen it before and I've sometimes said "OH, someone on QBN today said...", so she's sort of aware of what QBN is about.
She asked me what was what so I was saying "This is where you post your threads, and this blah blah blah..." and she said "What are the little grey pills with numbers here?" and I said "That's how many responses a braodcast has received. This one here is blank because bobody responded" and she said "Oh Thats so sad! It breaks my heart!" and proceeded to try and pursuade me to post something nice in whatever it was to cheer the poor soul up.
Whats with all this forum sentimentality ffs!?!?!?!
(Thats a rhetorical question)

Can you elucidate?
(elucidate, mind you)
- emecks0
elucidation:
Dog-ear guilt (noun) a feeling of wrongdoing a poster by dog-earing a post they have made. See also dog-ear angst.
[more definition than elucidation]

See, I don't understand dog-earing. As far as I can tell its just a way of making sure you return to a convenient point in a long thread ratehr than seeing page 1 all the time.
How can you wrong-do by dog earing?
Can other people see where you've do-eared to? I have never seen where anyone else has dog-eared to?
Am I subnormal, different to other people? I feel like a freak. Maybe its my penchant for wearing a pencil skirt and mascara that unsettles me. Please help.- mascara + pencil skirt is normal, not feeling dog-ear guilt however makes you a cold heartless deviant bastart.emecks

The quandary stems not from others being able to see what you've done (this is a most presbyterian guilt) but much more from the fact that you will not see any notes posted on your peers comments.

peers?
you clearly have larger issues...

I use it all the time. I have no guilt. Surely it's not as bad as when there was an ignore feature. I would feel guilty about using that.

Good lawd, this sort of guilt beggars belief Emecks. Are you a practising Jain Dharmist?

I think we should all get together in a community centre and make a dog-ear quilt for charity. We could get our picture in the local paper.

'A quilt for guilt'
I like it

Jains are the people who wont walk anywhere because they might injur a little bug underground, and they breath softly through muslin so as not to inhale any poor air bound critters. In short, they made a religion out of worrying much too much about the feelings of other creatures, vegetables and inanimate objects.

Geez, if I worried as much as them I wouldn't fart for fear of shitting myself
