Well, I like running the whole thing at once, without a "more." That way, you can just read it. But what's the problem? Take too long to load? Or something else?

Were you responding to my post? I don't understand the reference to "more".

Loading time isn't an issue -- it takes a LOT of text to make a difference there. It's more an issue of convenience in seeing things when paging up and down on Boing Boing... I regularly don't follow links the first time I see something here; come back later and find it to do so; check discussions for new entries (yes, I know I could subscribe); and otherwise revisit recent entries in fairly random order. A single entry multiple screens long makes that more difficult. That's why I have the preference I stated.

I dislike saying anything complaintish about volunteer projects whose results I enjoy. So let me repeat myself: Boing Boing rocks and I'm grateful for your and Cory's and David's work in making this one of the best places on the web. Thank you.

And that's a story I'll stick to regardless of whether you're persuaded to use 'more' links for very long entries.

Craniac: Those are the general rules, but you can create a .spamassassin directory and create a file with new rules in a file called user_prefs. You may actually already have this directory and file.

Kickstart: Thanks! I found user_prefs_template, installed your rules,and saved it as user_prefs. Does most of the rule-swapping take place on the email list?

Very little unfortunately, so I've dropped off of it. I sent my new rules in, but doubt that they will be included. I'm not sure why this is so.
