This idea came to me just suddenly.
Every once in a while I force myself to enter the Newest Nodes area and clear the list.
I myself don't use the Newest Nodes section very often and thought of this:
Under User Settings, there could be an option where each user can decide how often the list should be automatically cleared.
For instance, I myself would have the list clear itself every 12 hours.
Because face it: if I don't check out the list for new nodes within 12 hours, chances are I'll never want to see them any later than that.
Users could decide between say, 6, 12, 18, 24 hours or 2-10 days.
Does anyone think this is a bad idea, a good idea, or neither here nor there?
