Periodically--and only when using Explorer--a particular thread does not allow me to post or even scroll past a particular comment. There seems to be no reason why this happens or why a particular comment gets to be last in line. A different browser works fine, and when the thread shifts to a new page, the problem goes away. Try using another browser or adjusting your settings so that a different number of comments are available per page. One of those will likely take care of your problem, dear Warbler.

Meanwhile, what sort of fun could we have with an alternate political page? Perhaps we can discuss ridiculous political discussions (cue someone saying, "All discussions in the political thread are ridiculous.") like tabloid articles or nonexistent political situations, like the Chinese invasion of India, or something like that. It could be really fun!
