I don't understand the hate associated with the thread.
Fact is, 95% of the posts on that thread are after you are all in bed. It has ZERO affect on this site.
Matty already explained it's not about viewing, it's about posting. There are 5 times as many posts about Brunell hating that slows the server down. I don't recall the server being too busy because of the never ending thread.
