Question: I sometimes like to check out the modlog, but most of the time when I click on the removed comment to check the context (i.e. if it's someone screeching about tankies), I can see a reply to the deleted comment, but not what's above it.

Don't know if I'm writing Junkosreich for anyone but myself at this point. 20k words, and nobody's left a single comment. Although I suppose I shouldn't be so greedy if I'm going to write this niche garbage.
"It's OK," he said. "Please don't cry. Come on in on the couch. The news will be on any. minute. We can do it there."
"It?" said Oedipa. "Do it? What?”
"Have sexual intercourse," replied Nefastis. "Maybe there'll be something about China tonight. I like to do it while they talk
about Viet Nam, but China is best of all. You think about all those Chinese. Teeming. That profusion of life. It makes it sexier,
right?"
