   yep. I think you'd be better off with http pipelining and iframe or ajax based solution. At least that's transparent in terms of existing protocols. Of course there's a lot more server-side and client-side work going on to support facebook'

    I, for one, would rather that the main article links and comment links were blue/purple. The visuals on here frequently distract me or make certain tasks harder than they should be. "Managing" is not the same as a good experience.

    I read your original post and flagged it rather than responding. You were obnoxious for no good reason and you didn't argue coherently. Maybe if you structure your thoughts logically and clearly you'll get some traction.
