No, please spare us from infinite scrolling. :(
However, I agree that it's annoying to have to reload the page before being able to click on the rapidly-expiring "More" link. I often click on a good number of stories on the front page, and by the time I've read them and get to the "More" link, it will have expired. Then when I reload the page, I'll have to rescan it since some new links will have shown up in the meantime. Then when I click on the "More" link... expired again!
How about a bit of caching? Maybe taking a snapshot of the top 5 pages or so every hour? It wouldn't be up-to-the-minute, but one would be able to scroll through a list of links with a consistent relative order (rather than reencountering the same links as they move up and down.) Maybe the cached version could be offered as a separate section of the site, up there with "new", "threads", "comments", etc.
