Yes. If the volume is getting difficult, I would suggest going to 
read on web like I have. Then you don't even have to bother about 
deleting, and people have gotten tons better about labelling their 
messages properly with the prefixes, or renaming digest posts, though 
I'd personally prefer if people used the "MOVIE" tag more.

I didn't think that anyone was specifically "denigrating" people who 
enjoy shipping, but even as someone who doesn't get involved in those 
debates (The only thing I want to see is how what people think about 
new developments, whatever they will be, in book five when it comes 
out). I feel that the best solution to being tired of reading them is 
to start new threads that don't involve shipping. Kind of change the 
stream of the discourse in a positive way rather than a negative one. 
I think we will be seeing more non-shipping posts as the Monster and 
Quidditch books come out. Sigh...someone post a review once they read 
it, huh? :)
