Solution (for four message display): show *exactly four* messages
on the home page, but if any messages were skipped (and replaced
with earlier messages), add a link
at the bottom of the page "skipped <n> messages in <group>"

Same thing goes for -20 etc.

Wasn't easy, but managed to do it.  Was tricky logic because of the myriad of
up/down/sideways +/- twiggles and top/bottom boundaries to worry about.

Sorry for it sucking for so many days.  Had to make the quick icky/ugly
fix first, once it was clear how bad the problem was, before making it
actually work more reasonably.
