    Doesn’t the president run Disqus? I mean he’s the president of everything isn’t he? So…
    
    THANKS OBAMA!!!
    
    Yes. It was really happening to me – I figured it was the commenting system. I just ran with it. I do hate looking like a jackass in a (virtual) place I actually like…

      Some times some comments disappear for some people. You can tell if it’s happening by changing the sort order of comments and seeing if they reappear. THANKS OBAMA!!!
