Actually, I was getting used to it!
Hi Bill,
The problem was that it encroached too much on reading the post. If you could have it right over on the right hand margin, either below the dynamic adverts or in place of them, then they would not intrude as much.
I did start to find that it was useful to plan where else to go after I finished reading the thread.
Thanks for continuing to enhance the features and useability of the site.
Regards
Andrew
did something change in the layout?
I'm not getting the "recent posts" sidebar inside the post body element, pushing all the replies down off the bottom the screen, even when the post is empty.... A

We will cut down the # of new posts from 15 to 10 in a few minutes
Hopefully this will help your scroll length a bit. - AT

Figured the New York Times and The LA Times
Do similar things that help expose other parts of their editorial that it would be a plus to users. But progress has its price and we have removed this feature for now....

At the end of the day
Hi Andrew The site really belongs to the community. In a democratic fashion we run the site. All ears all the time. It is hard to ask up front for feedback out of fear of feature creep and it is hard to make changes without the risk of upsetting some user...
I suggest a 3 or 4 horizontal column at the top of the message body
instead of the vertical column at right side. Having this feature in horizontal format will remove the excess scrolling which seemed to be the main problem. - AT
