   As I've said endlessly, originally they had a 30 day limit on replies,   
   after that replies were disabled.  Then they changed the interface, to   
   favor their own groups, and put the bug in.  I know I complained, and   
   eventually the bug was fixed.  Then the interface changed again, and the   
   bug was back, and remains so, now some years later.   
      
   I'd almost think it's deliberate.
