It's a little less meaningful nowadays with the advent of Infinite Scroll (and yes, I like it), but in the olden days, having to click and wait while the page reloaded (especially back in the days of slow database access) was the pinnacle of IT annoyance, so discovering the 40-posts-per-page setting was a Godsend.
I have a friend who intentionally sets his to 15 posts per page and I truly can't fathom being that constricted. (He's even less patient than me, which I didn't think was possible, but somehow he has the fortitude to click and wait nearly three times as often as I do.) I have another friend who has his post order set
backwards (as in, the most recent post first). Reading a blog in reverse-chronological order makes sense, but a discussion thread??! I can't even. Heck, I can't even even.
There is objectively a right way to read FlyerTalk, dangit--mine!
I
think neither of said friends reads this thread, but I'm sure I'll hear about it soon enough if they do...
