Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is one of those posts that feels like it's about half the length it should be - it starts out really well and then just tails off when it gets interesting. Still, there are some good bits, and I haven't linked to this site before, so it's worth a mention. I liked this observation just near the end: "I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to post. After fiddling around for a few minutes... I had the bright idea to look at a thread with only a few replies.  And there was the 'New post' button–right there at the bottom. Back at the 'Introductions' thread, there was no 'New post' button–just a 'More replies…' button.  'Really?  Noooo…' I thought; I clicked 'More replies…' and again… and again… loading 30 or 50 replies at a time. When I finally got to the bottom of the thread, there at last was the button I was looking for. Someone neglected to consider scale."
