Your wish is my command.
BTW - near the top of this page is a line of choices "Forum List ... My Stuff ... Calendar ..." etc. Clicking My Stuff gets you some interesting options you might want to play with. (...but I digress...)
Third one down on the list is "Edit Preferences." Click on that.
The tenth one down is "Total posts to show on one page when viewing a post in flat mode: (default is 10)" and you can set it higher. I'm using the maximum of 99, so for me 1,000 posts is just 10 pages, not 100. I consider it much lower overhead.
So - here's the place to resume come Monday!

INTERREGNUM
PRONUNCIATION: (in-tuhr-REG-nuhm)
MEANING: noun: The period between the end of a reign and the beginning of the next; a time when there is no ruler.
ETYMOLOGY: From Latin, from inter- (between) + regnum (reign). Ultimately from the Indo-European reg- (to move in a straight line, lead, or rule), which also gave us regent, regime, direct, rectangle, erect, rectum, alert, source, surge, recto, regent, prorogue, arrogate, abrogate, regent, and supererogatory. Earliest documented use: 1579.

...than never to have stuck at all.
BASILIC
PRONUNCIATION: (buh-SIL-ik, -ZIL-)
MEANING: adjective: Kingly; royal.
ETYMOLOGY: From Latin basilicus, from Greek basilikos (royal). Earliest documented use: 1727.
NOTES: Many things are named after this kingly word: plants, animals, architecture, and more. Basil, the aromatic herb of the mint family, is named so because it was used in royal preparations for medicine, bath, etc. A large vein of the upper arm is called the basilic vein due to its supposed importance. The basilisk lizard (and the legendary reptile) are named for their crown-like crest...
-----------------------------------------
BASILI - an exhortation to seriousness: "Don't basili !"

Sorry Doc, Happy April Fools Day anyway. INTERREGNMUM - interregnum between the death of the king and his oldest son obtaining his majority that is usually ruled haphazardly by the son's mum. (1) add a letter ENTERREGNUM - hail the new King (2) change a letter INTERREGNU - to renew the inner gnu (3) subtract a letter ------------------------------ BASHILIC ( adj) - what Tyson was
