I add the "&perpage=999" part at the end to allow ET to give me one long page with the same beigeness we all know and love. And even better, I get the links to the attachments! I print to PDF oftentimes, and if I have the attachment links I can add them to the document... Without the attachments, the conversations don't make any sense, since much of the conversation obviously revolves around charting here....
Of course, I think after I started doing this, the mods put limits on the length of pages, so many threads still end up with multiple pages -- ET obviously doesn't allow 999 posts on one page :-(
