Something going on with those threads, they cloned themselves and won't take new posts.

Here is a comment I wanted to add to them:

There's some bug that happens from time to time that causes this; I've never been able to track it down, although haven't had a lot of time to commit to it.  I suspect it happens in weird instances when someone is editing or deleting a post (maybe at the same time a new comment is being added?)  There's something called a "race condition" in computer code that can be hard to track down but can cause oddities like this.

If a thread appears to become sick, I'd recommend creating a brand new thread.  Taking the old thread out back and shooting it is optional.

hmm ... or some dirty database cacheing on the web server.... when in doubt restart everything :)   race conditions are the best!

I tried to post there twice in the past two days and post just evaporates after clicking post comments.
