I used to read it all.... I have learned that I must be more selective with my personal resources, I cannot read everything any more! Now I scan the subjects very fast. If it does not catch my interest in a few ms, I pass it by. Russell's posts have drifted well away from my interests lately so I am not current in the topic. I focus on that which is of interest to me. It works for me!
