A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humor? When you think about it, it’s weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it’s funny. Don’t you think it’s odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?
HOBBES: I suppose if we couldn’t laugh at things that don’t make sense, we couldn’t react to a lot of life.
CALVIN: (after a pause) I can’t tell if that’s funny or really scary.Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist

Getting batches of new posts then scrolling back down and trying to find where you were--is silly.
It would be nice to ** at the least ** get back to where you were before loading the latest batch.
