How do I display the whole thread?

How do I display the whole thread on one page rather than having to click through all hundred and whatever groups of 15 messages?

If there's no official way, I can script a web crawler to slowly gather them but that seems rather crude and means I'll be downloading the page headers and footers a hundred or more times more than necessary.

Unfortunately you can't. Which thread is it and why do you want everything on one page?

Cheers,

The helmet debate.
To do some textual analysis.

I can see why that feature is not provided but it would be a nice option to have for people with fast internet connections who can speed read! (Or who want to analyse big threads.)

I don't think you're going to be able to do it; even with a crawler there will be too much extraneous HTML per-page to process, sorry.

Cheers,
