The trouble is with that is that it is an all-or-nothing approach. You get either 43 106 nodes, or 0. You can't specify to clear all bar the most recent n hundred.

When you're coming back after a break, you want to see what threads are active, to see where the discussion is.

I think a sensible addition would be a setting to say "send me no more than N newest nodes", which would translate to a LIMIT clause in the mySQL backend.
