Ok, after reading this I understand what it's meant for and I might even 
see a somewhat reasonable usage for the parameter: if I just want the 
user to see e.g. the last 50 postings. I never thought of wanting such a 
feature... well, maybe in the search results, to avoid displaying 
ancient postings.

Thanks for the clarification, I'm going to add it to the Codex.
