I've found that if I put it in a "read later" folder/list/bookmark,
that there's a 70% chance that I'll I never read it :)
FWIW, now firefox-4.0 has a new feature, when you save the session the
next time you open it it only loads 3 tabs from each window, leaves
the rest "not loaded" until you open it.
