This service has mostly turned out to be used by a couple of people. Do you prefer to use LW proper? I was under the impression that this service was mostly valuable because we have access to ILL requests and because we're more interested in helping than elsewhere.

I do, yeah. And it is easier to keep up here.

Hmm, okay. Have you noticed this thread being unwieldy in some way? What is your main concern?

As comments increase, more of the page gets buried in click-to-continue wrappers, so any kind of navigation gets harder. It gets harder for me to refind old requests I might need. It gets harder for anyone to look through for unfilled requests. And so on.

I also don't like pages with too many comments on pure aesthetic grounds. As good a time as any to pull the plug and inaugurate a second article. (Would be good for your karma too, which you deserve!)

Speaking of difficult to navigate, can you navigate me towards your series of comments about studies regarding IQ in societies?
