Matt,
On the Profile page, where we have a "Read Last 50 Messages" option, it would be nice if, when that option is selected, the 50-message display had an option to "Read Previous 50 Messages". Here's why:
1) Prolific posters write more than 50 messages a day.
2) When scanning a poster's messages on the "Last 50 Messages" display, it is straightforward to quickly scan the messages and, when appropriate, follow the links back to the comments which inspired the messages we're reading.
3) When there are more than 50 messages to read, one must bring up a "previous 50" list and go into each post in succession, scan it, and follow the link, if warranted, return to the 50 message list, select the next, go into it, scan it, follow the link, etc. This is a very time consuming chore.
