Because it is a waste of space (and server processing, and network  
bandwith, etc.) to display a duplicate menu bar if the other menu bar  
is visible on the screen - that is just bad UI.  The value of 20  
messages is just an arbitrary number - since everyone has different  
sizes of screens and browser windows, 20 is just an educated guess of,  
on average, how many messages can fit into a screen.
