166 posts in "An Open Letter..." - a lot to scroll through I agree. However, I like the order of the posts, from old to new. So inserting new posts instead of appending them - no good!
Instead, lengthy posts could be chopped into pages of say 20 posts. The last page presented first.
The order would be maintained and the the older posts just a click away in a page selector set of links near the bottom of page.
I suppose malcontents could write their own script to read a long and interesting post....

At the same time, it doesn't happen very often to have such long posts!

Agreed with GregP and the visitor who first comes to the thread should start to read at the first post that triggered it all.
Furthermore, I don't mind scrolling down, I prefer that over clicking through ten or more pages of a few posts per view. Perhaps a cookie could help place the page on the first unread post of the thread?

I like the cookie idea. If anyone has time to implement it, I'll update the script (code for this forum is always linked below).
