Hide Sticky Preference

Could there be a way to hide the "Sticky" note
at the top of the "Help Me" section, for those
users that have already read it.   And then if
someone added to that sticky, it would pop up
again.  Anyway, "sticky"s are sort of a kludge or temporary
fix to get a public message across.
Basically there are two reasons I dislike sticky's:
  1.  At a glance, they make the forum look old, due to the older date on the sticky.
  2.  I waste precious time skimming past the sticky note over and over.
As for solutions that are glamorous,
I can't think of any because putting the
sticky in the section it belongs to is an excellent
way to keep newbies informed about things.
However, whatabout if the sticky was not quite as sticky, and
it fell downward into history each day, but at midnight, it becomes
the newest topic again.  Then it's not always the topmost note.
That's just one answer I can think of.  Thanks for your time.
