Sharon, do you work for the Government???
...just asking...
[grin]
I'm sure Wizzy works there.

No, we have the number set low enough that even TV-Internet people shouldn't have trouble loading. And if they really, truly find that our threads are still too long for them to load, they can tell us and we'll deal with it.
So no, we don't want bifurcated discussions unless it makes editorial sense to bifurcate them.

Actually, there is an answer to Sharon's question. In lengthy discussions that are divided into chapters, make sure the chapters have a common, distinctive element in the title. Then we can put an index at the top and bottom of each chapter, like this:

---

Search for "Bush, Iraq" threads

If you see series of threads that need indexing like that, let me know by personal message.
Oh, and you'll find examples of closed threads in the links at the top of the River to Pray threads. Closed threads are readable, but can't be added to.
