I just read your new post because it just blinked onto my Google Reader account. If it's an updating problem I seem to have missed it. (They might just hate you. Sorry.)

I guess they do hate me, I'm getting it in 2 browsers. Bad beat.

No problem here anyways

Sorry to hear that Reader is giving you trouble. We've seen some sporadic reports of this, but nothing that we can reproduce. Do you have Google Gears installed?
