My only problem with the reclist is that it is fast becoming so yesterday technology wise. There is a huge disconnect between the needs of the community and the ability of Kos' scoop coders to keep up.
Simple changes that would alleviate many of the complaints about the reclist are too hard to code easily enough for the quick tests needed to vet them.
For example, if the list is to be kept limited to the current x entries, then I would like the ones I've read to disappear and be replaced by fresh ones.
Or how about a button that says "Clear this list and show me the next."
And that's just off the top of my head. Really folks this is a technology problem pure and simple.
In fact many of the other solutions that are being bandied about here involve as much coding as the ones I've suggested.
So folks just cool it cause Kos and his coders are going as fast as they can.
