One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.
