I don't mind seeing the messages page list when the red bell is clicked. It is just indicating the name of someone who read a post and which post it pertains to. One can just click the red bell and after the page opens you just click the home symbol in the left corner to get back to your home page and go from there. You definitely don't have to go back into each entry unless you want to. It makes me happy when the bell symbol is red because I then know that people have read my posts -- it is better than not having anyone show interest in one's comments.
