LONG ILX THREADS HATE THIS ONE SIMPLE TRICK:
1. Click on the Permalink of the message right after the cutoff.
2. The URL will now contain something like "bookmarkedmessageid=3669956"
3. Change that number to something smaller and you will be jumped back to an earlier point in the thread without loading the whole thing.

Which part didn't work? The only maybe tricky part is that if you don't make that number small enough, you won't get any older messages. And if you make that number too small you'll be at the first messages. Usually lowering it by thousands or ten-thousands is enough.

In the meantime, longtime residents are left to harken back to that first crowd that had to endure an invasion of newcomers, the Montauket tribe. As Mr. Devlin’s wife, Eileen, joked on Friday as the restaurant prepared for another busy night, “Now I know how the Indians felt.”
Nope. No you don't.

For the past eight months Mr. Brown has been dating Monica Ross, 25, a bartender and actress. “She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar,” said Mr. Brown of the night they met.

On Sunday, Ms. Schwab drives the guest to the train station.
“As she’s getting out she says to me, ‘Oh, yeah, I didn’t have time to get to the cash machine, so I went to your purse and took some cash,’ ” Ms. Schwab says. “It was basically everything I had taken out of the A.T.M. the night before, $100.”

This Daily ep about Mexican cartels doing timeshare fraud is quite something. I cannot stop thinking about the retired state cop who sent this supposed Mexican businessman a million bucks, his entire retirement savings PLUS money he had to borrow! because he's a retired law enforcement official who "has a pretty good sense about people." Do you though. And of course his wife "had doubts" but the little lady doesn't handle their money.
People who defraud seniors are evil, beneath contempt--no question. But this is a funny case for the NYT to choose to cover.
