No, use Watchlist like everybody (not entirely true) else so you can use "unwatch".
It would be much easier to be able to do so, shame it isn't possible
Now I have added all answered topic to my watch list and I will unwatch those I don't want to see anymore.
And I'm so used to click "Show new replies to your posts." link that it will take long time to that I learn to click correct link
Its just a little lower and the Watchlist is very powerfull. You can watch entire boards [1] and will find every new topic in your watch list.
