Feedback on new A2K features

Let me start with the point that made me look for a feedback thread in the first place: It's the new red "NEW" flag, signalling that a thread has received new responses. I like it, but sometimes it throws me off. On further introspection, I noticed that all those events fall into two categories:

1. I wrote the only new post on the thread. In this case the "NEW" flag throws me off by signalling that it has new information for me when it actually hasn't.
2. Someone I ignore wrote the only new post in the thread. This throws me off by drawing my attention to something I wish to ignore.

Is it possible, without too much extra effort and computing time, to set the "NEW" flag only if the new posts are written neither by myself nor by someone I'm ignoring?

There's this:

Thanks! I'll take it there. Fellow correspondents, please ignore this thread.
