Why do FR threads do this?

Nonsense.

*I* stole the election from Kerry.

In my spacecraft, I have maser projectors which are capable of overriding any radio signal anywhere on your puny planet. I simply overrode all result tallies coming across your primitive information network, to rearrange the results for my amusement. Because my objective is to make puny Earthlings scream, and because Democrats scream much louder and longer than Republicans, I threw the election to Kerry.

(Silly humans...)

I want to know why I cannot view my own posts on my "pings" page. All I see is the thread and post number. I have to click on every thread to see what somebody wrote to me. And heaven forbid if I want to recall what I've already written.

But when I check somebody else's Find in Forum, I can read what they wrote.

Dan Rather will report it too.

Well it's OK because when I get my 15 minutes of fame, I will say we learned the technique from Hillery.

To see the answers on post 18, you need to rub your cursor over the blank lines below the questions with the left-click thingie pressed down while you do it!

Just a matter of time before Jesse Jackson, Ralph Nader and Mike Badnarik demand a recount of the posts.
