Is this really about page settings? Is that REALLY what this is all about? Or is it about... choices. Yes - choices.

Without choice, we are automatons. No different than a million others scrumbling along from day to day, mouthing words programmed into them by routine, performing actions by rote, believing whatever seems easiest to believe. Ordering always from the menu, screwing in one of the six approved positions, voting for one of the approved parties, drinking a mass-produced beer while watching the home team for whatever sport is most popular in their city. Driving exactly 10 km/h over the limit in one of the 10 best-selling cars of the year.

Is that you? Is the default number of pages all you aspire to? Or is there something more? Something... glorious. Take a tiny step out of the playpen into the great scary world, all golden and dangerous and wonderful and unsafe, all chaos and heartbreak, that's all it takes - maybe you go to 60 replies a page, or just suppress realtor1's spammy sig. It's up to you. There's choice out there. Are you strong enough to reach out and take it?
