Saf, I can increase the number, currently there are 16 posts per page.  I find 40 way too much, it gets slow for slow connection speeds for sure.  It is even slow to load on highspeed.

The issue is advertising, in order to incorporate advertising I had to limit the number of posts to something realistic, originally I had 10 per page, and I changed it to 16.  I might change it to 25 but I would rather not go any higher.

If it wasn't for advertising boxes (which might go away not sure yet) then I can enable it so that you can change it to 1000 per page if you wish and I can have at it 25 for mine.

If 25 is the max, then I vote 25.

I just filled up all my cars today. So Canadian government can increase the price of barrel of gas dramatically when selling to our Stateside neighbor, until they lift off the embargo of the lumber. ;D

Thanks, DSW.  Canadian Driver ripped me off!  They even stole my words... "unscrupulous" and "unsuspecting..." darnit!   ;D 

I'm glad something's being done.  I wonder who owns the NIBC?  Bush or Cheney?   :)

Saf, I've only seen a few episodes of "Little Britain," and it's GREAT!  Love it.

"Among the casualties of Hurricane Katrina are dozens of new car dealerships just like Favre's.

The storm damaged about 230 Big Three dealerships across the Gulf Coast region, with the automakers reporting that nearly 50 stores were all but wiped out."

From a story in Detroit News about the effects of Katrina on car businesses.

Wanna Buy a Brand New Slightly Wet Locomotive built in London Ont Canada. There's about 6-8 down there with the cars and trucks from this  terrible storm They have been underwater for days and are a total writeoff at the moment. They were at the Dock area awaiting to be loaded for overseas shipping. With the miles of copper parts inside they are ruined from the salt water and other stuff. Around $19 Million in damage. They don't know who's Insurance Co is on the hook yet. This will be interesting in the future to follow.  :)
