To continue, here's one that works as expected: (3 posts +1
more<http://wordpress.org/support/topic/88196?replies=3&view=all>
)

First post in that thread was blank, so I deleted it.  Get's the "+1 more"
and when I click it, I see an extra post.

So just to be clear, it's the ones that show "+- more" (aka plus-minus more)
that seem... odd.  Does it cause anguish and strife?  Nope.

Do I like upsetting every automattic employee I come in contact with?  Nope.

Just trying to provide value.
