I use the subscription feature to track threads. I just added my 578th subscription. Is there a limit to the number? I don’t want to be the guy who crashed [straightdope.com](http://straightdope.com). ---

I have 5058. I did not turn on that feature until 4 or 5 years ago. No idea what the upper limit is, but it seems you have a ways to go. ---

Hmmm. In the new spirit of neutral mod comments. **TubaDiva** isn’t prepared to specify what kind of day she is wishing. Good day, bad day, indifferent day? Just that **standingwave** should have a day. Well, given the alternative, I guess wishing **stNdingwave** should have at least one more day is marginally positive. _I kid, I kid._😉 ---

I mean, who knows what may happen? Always hopeful for positive outcomes, but man, I just didn’t know What Might Be Happening. 😃 ---
