I don't see this as an option, so I would like to suggest the option to close one's own thread. It can just be overwhelming to go through tons of replies to one's thread which don't really address your post, just to get to the kind answers from folks who ARE interested in the topic at hand. I find that I'm losing interest in my own thread but don't want to ignore the folks who are actually on-topic. Frankly, if I had the option to close my own thread, I would be happy to do so.
