Oh but at least there's a purpose with the "." I also find them mildly annoying when I hope for an answer to a question I asked and find only a period. But at present it is the easiest way of bookmakrking a thread. Another way is to set the dot, then as soon as the post is posted, delete it again. You still gets ebots from that thread. The downside is that everybody that has psted before you also gets an ebot saying you posted something, yet they find nothing when they check out the thread. A "bookmark this" option would be a cool improvement.
