JKMatt,
There are no requirements/limits as to how many posts you can make in a pick up thread. The simple rule that has been "adopted" is that as you can start a new pick up thread once the old one has reached 40-50 posts.
But I completely agree with Steve that there appears to be a tendency to start a new one in the upper 30s low 40s now. The reason for the rule, supposedly, was so that the thread wouldnt take to long to load. Frankly, that shouldnt be a real problem if you have broadband and if you dont, well, its sort of on you if it takes a while to load.
