65,535. The largest value possible for a 2-byte integer field.

So if we're trying to sneak up on the magic number 65,535 and someone posts 65,536 using the shotgun approach, will the server crash?

Well JohnRob, and Kevin would know more than I, but what I think is that if we were up to 65,535, and someone tried to make another post, FR would refuse to accept the post.

I'm afraid your time with the precious may be giving you delusions of grandeur.

Morning all. Just not enough sleep last night at all...
