Yup, I know I do. Plus you can just sit there hitting reload when you're bored and watch the new ones show up. I haven't seen "Page 1" in days (I like to check it every now and then, but I have the "Recent Messages" page bookmarked and that's where I go).

Also, for those who say things are going too fast: yeah, but they'll slow down. The board tends to swing between a whole lot of messages and very few. Fortunately, it's usually in between, but right now we're on the high volume end...
