On a serious note (and it does happen occasionally with me) this thread should come with two things based on my own experience.
A preface (a preview? A warning) It is possible to commence reading the thing without realising the sheer size. Before you realise it you are two hours in and have not stratched it? The preface could contain a realistic assessment of how long it would take to conduct a thorough read - in my case 10 hours plus.
A warning to take notes of points of interest and post number. It is difficult to cross reference back when arriving at the end of 88 pages of posts. Having read it all in one go, i would now have appreciated knowing this at the start .
For those who are interested in the content but do not have the time/resilience/attention span etc to read it all, an appraisal of the threads contents would be an alternative?
It might also assist those of us who have read it!!
Regards
