I *hate* that fucking site! They used to 'hide' their content with some javascript, overlaying the text with some opaque layer, that you could easily greasemonkey your way out of. Bastards.

Scroll to the bottom of the page, and you'll find the entire thread. They aren't allowed to give different search results to the GoogleBot and the visitors, so they just hide the good stuff at the bottom of the page. I had no idea, but I've used that several times.
