Marcia,
I understand your confusion, I did indeed mistype. What I should have said is "the default is ten posts per page."
You're right that it's fluid in the sense that you can change your individual options. But the default is what the spider sees. Only people with accounts can change their options, thus making the number 'fluid.' And for the most part, spiders don't have accounts.
Thus, it's pretty safe to assume that if you use the tag Alex suggested on post one, eleven, twenty-one, etc., you'll be spider proofing the thread. There are, sadly, never any perfect guarantees in computing, but this particular practice has held up for many years. When we get deep into HTML6, we may need to revisit this one.
Sorry for my inexact wording. I should have been clearer.
Thanks,
Bill
