Whether it's customary or not, at least one person with a lot of useful things to say has indicated that he finds difficulty in downloading threads with more than 40 or so posts on them, because the connection he's on, via TV rather than a PC, works that way.

And I've got a good connection through a cable, in a country with a pretty good communication network - but even so I find that 100 threads takes a long time, and if I log in at certain times of day they may time out.

And thanks for using a name, Ian. I only decided to try to ignore the minority of GUESTS who don't use a name after running up against some pretty unpleasant ones. (But please let's not drift into argument that here.)
