I've noticed a that very lively discussions often slow to a crawl when posters percieve that a page break is about to happen. When one's post ends up as the last one on the page it is literally possible that only 1 other person (the first responder) will actually read it.

I suppose all the BB software packages have fixed length pages so perhaps there is nothing that can be done.

But if an FT member could dynamically specify the number of posts to include per displayed page (a feature many shopping websites have) that would end this frustrating phenomenon.
