Indeed your concern is well founded. However the common practice is to put relevant markup when modifying/updating a node. Actually this rule is not always respected, but fortunately this happens rarely enough. Often just because people don't know about it and have not lurked enough. In these cases if someone realizes what's going on - and generally this is exactly what that happens, then he/she will warn the OP giving him relevant info about behavioural recommendations.

Said, this, having desired newsreader-like whatch/ignore facilities myself, from the responses I got I think to have understood that anything like what you're asking for would require major site modifications not that easy to be implemented anytime soon - but I would be happy to be proved wrong! Whatever, if you take the above picture into account, I think you'll realize there's not a compelling necessity for a facility like the one you're asking for.
