Kill topic option.

Due to work and school comittments, I'm unable to check the forums with as much frequency as I'd like. Often there's a 24 hour gap between when I can see what's here, but, I still want to be of some service. When there are 300 unread posts (and most of them in the same forum), and posts from the current day on page two, it becomes difficult to read through them. I find that when I do, many of them have already been solved.
To relieve some of the "holy <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> there's way too much here" shock, I have an idea. Allow the user who started a topic to stop it. Don't delete it, because the solution could have valuable information, and don't lock it down, because someone may want to add something to their solution, but have an option so the topic won't be reported if it has unread posts. That way, a user could see their problem has been solved, and cut down the amount of reading for those of us cruising around the forums looking to help out.
Nothing crucial, but it'd be nice.
