Who reads notams?

Let's be honest folks, who reads EVERY line and all the details regarding your departure, destinaton an alternate airports NOTAMS before departing?

Surely there is a case for prioritising the crap that is so often contained, and that makes the job of reading it so time consuminng. Who the fk cares if a taxi way is blocked, whether they have moved the de -icing pad, or even if the ground frequency has changed - all of that will become obvious once you land or ask to taxi - what's more important are factors that WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT - and my point is that these should be HIGHLIGHTED rather than hidden in the small print.

Surely a system of proiritising the RELAVENCE of the information should be devised. Your thoughts appreciated - or am I the only dummy who cannot sort the chaf from the wheat?
