Not possible?

...Depends on how chase wrote the board. When I wrote mine (lostcommunity.org), I used a recursive function to draw the message index. The more nested the messages are, the more times the function had to recurse. After a while the script would run out of stack space.
It sounded like that is what you guys were all worried about.
BTW: Age has nothing to do with programming. I'm a firm beleaver that anyone can learn to program at any age, assuming they have a good teacher and an interest. As a result, I've never been much impressed with "young" programmers. Especially when they deliver mediocre-poor quality code. On the other hand, I'm always impressed with high-quality code - since truly beautiful code is so rare.
