i'd sure like to buy someone a pizza the next time they're in Chicago if you could help me on this.

i want to limit the number of saved messages (new topics plus replies) to some number like 800. can that be done? is there a way for the code to automatically delete messages over 800, keeping the most recent 800.

and can 800 be displayed on the first page with a scroll bar so you can just keep scrolling up and down.

BTW, i'm serious about the pizza.
