Can you just see it?  When Barack is getting sworn in, Hillary runs over and grabs the Bible and takes over the ceremony!  When he gives his first State of the Union she stands up and filibusters!

Oh, really, this is too much -- the day that Barack goes over the top Hillary makes it all about her.  If he DOES give her the VEEP, which I doubt he will do, I will be so disappointed.

OK, Does anyone remember when we could post a comment, send it, and get put right back where we were in the queue?

As opposed to now, where we get back to the beginning, and we have to scroll down and down and down until we see our avatar, and then we can read forward on the thread...  Not too bad if there are 10 or 20 posts, but when it gets up to 100 or 200, or lately, more than 500, it is really ridiculous, and keeps conversations down.

If, on the other hand we have an actual life, and don't stay here 24-7, and we go to our "profile" to see where we posted last, and click on it, we have to scroll down again, to see if perhaps there are new posts, and if by chance anyone responded to what we already wrote.

To those of us who knew the old site, this is how it was:

When you posted a comment, it immediately brought you back to where you were, and you could go on from there.

New posts were differentiated from old ones by being highlighted, so you didn't have to re-read 100 old stuff to find what was new on a particular thread.

You could go to your own "profile" section and click on it and immediately see any responses that had been written, so you didn't have to go through the entire thread to have a conversation.

There was an extensive archive, so you could go back MONTHS before to review what you said, what respondants said, and on and on.

When I am on a thread that is getting a lot of attention, it is very discouraging to add anything once it has gotten past 60 comments.  First, once the submitted comment is accepted, then I have to scroll all the way through again, without any way to know if knew comments have come through.  It is ironic that the most interesting threads are the ones that are the most labor-intensive to get a conversation going.

This was NOT a problem before.  It is a huge problem now.  I am going into a busy week, and I don't have time to waste scrolling and scrolling.  This was NOT a problem before, and I haven't seen one attempt at solving it.

TPM, Do you want to be like Huffington Post?  I gave up posting anything there because it is far worse than here, but I wonder; is this what your goal is?
