You're not being a PITA at all. The benefit of subscribing to a thread is that the User CP can provide you with listing of posts that you decide that you want to follow. It saves time rather than having to go through every forum looking for what you want to read.

There's nothing that says that anyone *has* to subscribe to anything. It's just a tool to save time.

Another useful tool is the fact in the list of forums, the folder icon is colored yellow for forums with new posts, and colored blue if there aren't new posts.

Does this help?
