Our philosophy is that every post is special and deserves its own page...To answer others that have raised the question, I have no direct experience with which to back up my claim [of adverse effects... But I know that part of what makes SI work is everyone knowing that everyone is viewing posts within the same paradigm. We choose not to cater to the 5% that want to look at the world differently....

Brad,

It's obvious that when it comes to sensible features such as View XX replies or clubhouse threads, your philosophy is willing to bend. As I write, there are 13 replies to your reply #1240. Do you really feel that these posts are made any less special if you access them via techstocks.com ?

Yet I cannot understand why it should be a matter of world views. I'll bet that many of the proponents of a View Many Messages feature are just people who are trying to speed up access to the threads that they love. For some reason, you have chosen to lump this simple concept together with the filter/ignore button issue (an idea that is deserving of controversy) and reply in like manner.

Human nature does have it's subtleties: such as the delusion that those that disagree with us are in the "minority". As I would guess I am among both the others and the mythic 5% who deserve neither catering nor direct responses, I'll drop the subject.

Michael
