Yes, I see that the subject is a clickable link. The issue is figuring out which of those I want. -- Drew

But I find the workaround pretty easy too: Put your mouse cursor at the beginning of the non-link headline of yuor post in the listing, then scroll upwards with the keyboard until it a line starting further left hits your cursor. (This thread you found was still so short I didn't even get to use PgUp, just Up-Arrow. :-) ) But personally I don't use that technique very often at all; usually just when someone links deeply into a thread, like you here. Normally, though, I just display the whole thread and then scroll down to the un-read bits, handily marked by little LRPDs. As JerryP used to say, "Recommended." -- Christian R.

I'm used to the stream-of-consciousness discussion on Balloon-Juice ("threaded discussions are EVIL and don't tell us otherwise!!1"), but even there one can click on the @xxxx in the comment to get back to the immediate reference in the discussion if necessary. Unless, of course, there are a bunch of embedded tweet graphics in the thread - then the page scrolls once the graphics load and who knows where you'll end up... :-/ It was nice when it was easier to see who was replying to whom here, but it's still pretty good! Cheers, Scott.
