    Kill threads after the second page...

    I haven't seen anything worth reading or participating in after the second page -- usually they just devolve into pissing matches between two or three stubborn individuals, of whom at least one has really poor reading/social skills.

    You could just lock them after 50 or so posts... it save bandwidth.

    (Just an observation, not serious, I rather like watching the blow-outs sometimes.)

    I dunno, I thought the High End Digital thread was stillborn to begin with but to each his own. Two of those guys droaned on for at least 20-30 back and forth brickbrats. And they like to write longwinded posts...

    Frank, if bandwidth conservation is your interest, why not suggest eliminating images and avatars. Aren't multiple text pages are a drop in the bucket by comparison?

    Is there a problem with bandwidth?

    Sorry, never mind, you guys are right. I was more trying to comment that a lot -- but not all -- of the longer threads get stupider as they go on.

    Let's see if we can spin this out to 50 posts, just to annoy Frank
    Maybe there should be a prize for post No 50...?

    Nah, the prize goes to the 51st post, but only if it contains useful, on-topic information.
