Any idea why Yahoo won't allow for messages to be posted to this item?

It's been like this all day, and I haven't seen another one affected the same way.

Ex-Lawmaker Says He Helped Bush With Guard

1. I've been posting about anti-Kerry "technical problems" on Yahoo.

I see them every day. Also, it looks to me like about a month ago Rove assisgned several hundred people to rating anti-Bush stories low and pro-Bush or fluff stories high, burying the truth.

I don't know if it's Yahoo or someone tampering with Yahoo. I can't even guess, but it has drastically changed Yahoo as a news source, not for the better.

2. The problem is with the way it's set up.

Rove can have his followers set up as many Yahoo accounts as they want sliding the results to their liking.

3. I think that's part of it,

but I don't understand why you can't "rec" a post, make a post, or even see the posts sometimes.

A few months ago I got a special message telling me that what I was posting wasn't anonymous and that it might be reported, etc.

4. The rating hasn't changed, either

And more than 50 votes have been cast since I first saw it...that's very statistically unlikely with only ~675 votes.
