Unrelated to the article itself, but I'm really not a fan of websites like this one hijacking the back button to show more articles. It feels like a mistake to have ever allowed websites to modify behaviour of the back button like that, although I'm sure it leads to some usability improvements elsewhere.

Just browse with JavaScript off, or with NoScript. People think it's inconvenient, but it's really not.

The whole form-resubmit-on-back thing is always annoying, but a proper redirect after submission fixes that.
