I believe the best suggestion so far has been the listing of the next five or so posts at the bottom of the current post. The reader would either click on the next button at the top as we now do to read the next post in the thread or look at the listing of the next five posts at the bottom of the current post. The name of the poster could be included next to the first line of the post. This would be very similar to having the option of skipping any poster or any offtopic post. It would enable a faster pass through a long thread. If threads make use of the first line as a subject line the format could be very useful.

I have not seen any objection to this idea yet. I believe it addresses most of the concerns raised on this topic to date. We wondered if it would slow down the server.

Regards
