What sort of use-case assumption is it to mark a post as read after it's a month old? If I have kept a post as unread then I want it to stay unread unless I change it myself. What a ridiculous assumption made by the software engineers. I'm actually planning to use another reader now as this is unacceptable. And not to mention all the ads Google has started inserting!!
