If we're willing to impose disambiguation on the user (and ability to find and report all matching messages on the UI), then the questions to me would be
- Assume a 10 million message archive.
- What percentage of permalinks need another click?
- What percentage of permalinks will result in a list of more than 10 matches?
Rationale for 0: 10 related lists X 20 years X 365 days X 100 messages/day. I can imagine people wanting to index into such a corpus. Rationale for 1: Obvious, I hope. Rationale for 2: Maybe I'm just getting old, but that's the number of lines I can comfortably scan in a glance. FVO of "10" that suit you, I guess.
Note that, like Barry, I'm assuming disambiguation will be needed for x-posts in any case. WDOT?
