What value is there in yesterday’s news when the New and Unread notifications are essentially real time?

I’ve read every post (again) above the red line; fourteen in all.  
The red line doesn’t budge.

Mousing over the red line yields nothing.  
Left click on the red line does nothing.  
Right click on the red line does nothing.

There’s no indication of what the enigmatic red line is for or how it works.  
All it does is exist.

I’ve yet to see it function, much less find a use for it.  
Thus far, it’s nothing but a visual bump in the trail of posts.

Our forum supports SketchUp 3D Modeling Software.  
You’ll find the [Site Statistics](http://forums.sketchup.com/about) show it’s a rather lively place.

Perhaps what’s viewed as clutter is in the eye of the beholder.  
In 3D modeling, neatness counts. Stray geometry (lines) left in a model create problems.  
Every stitch of geometry in 3D modeling has a name, a length and must serve a purpose.  
Lines which serve no purpose left here and there in a 3D model are indeed, clutter.
