1. Why? The two aren't related.

2. I don't think the exceptional situations are limited to mobile users. Personal preferences already exist.

3. You might have to wait until you (presumably) run again & are elected to TB to raise a motion.

I'm still of the opinion this is a solution in search of a problem, especially since we've not had many complaints about it from FTers. I've got mine set to 40 and am not adverse to making it the default btw, but I also can't get that excited about changing it given the lack of response by FTers & that there is a process currently in place to change it to 40.

But as Rich also notes, ultimately it's an IB decision. Last we heard from them they said, "Pagination will not be changing any time soon. Combination of advertising/technical issues prohibits this, but thanks for the suggestion." Granted that was 3 years ago, so perhaps things have changed. I can alert them to this thread.

Cheers.
