Post first half, then edit? Just a guess.

My actual technique:

- post first half

- fumble around trying to find the link

- get despearate because my comment only shows an /edit link

- find another link from someone else, paste that in

- change the /item?id=<n> to the id of my /edit?id=<n> comment

- save the change

- follow the link

- follow the link a few more times

- relax.
