Destroyed My "My Posts" Widget!!

Based on some advice I read in this section, I edited my "My Posts" widget (if I remember its name correctly). I wanted to see more than a random selection of my previous posts. So I set the count to 20,000, well above the total number of my posts, which is somewhere around 7,200. Now when I select "Your View", that page just spins. On two occasions it finally showed me that page about "discussions will be back soon". Apparently it doesn't scale to handle the number of messages I've posted. Unfortunately, since that page no longer finishes rendering, I can't edit that widget to reduce the number of posts to a value it can handle. How can I fix this? And once I've recovered, how can I set that widget to display a reasonable number of my most recent posts instead of a random selection?

Thanks for any advice.

I saw that too. Looks like the limit is 100 posts now.

I'm the culprit/victim who tried to request a large number of posts. They could eliminate that sort of problem if they changed those widgets to page the posts (as is done already in some areas) instead of trying to create a single list of all of them. As elsewhere, a widget could be customized by specifying how many posts appeared on each page.
