I don't want to be bumped to any lists. It has nothing to do with interest in this or that subject and everything to do with how I use reply trackers to carry on conversations, back and forth, in all the noise FR necessarily generates, including quite long conversations in quite old threads that have long since dropped below the recent post radar.

I do not want to be distracted from actual conversations - specific replies to things I have written - and I write a lot, long pieces and not in vanity posts but in replies - by generalized lists that are nothing more than attempts to manipulate my attention. Let me decide what I find interesting, thank you very much, and get the heck out of my reply feedback loop.

I happen to find the use of such lists incredibly obnoxious, incidentally, and I doubt I am alone in that regard. I started with just a polite request, and your response was patronizing. Thus the explanation and lecture.
