Fletch is now the second member who's remarked to me that clicking the links I provide to DP posts do not take him to the same destination post to which clicking on the same link takes me.
Fletch's remark (shown below in blue) suggests to that DP somehow uses a page identifier as part of the address for a given post. I examined the underlying address for the tinyurl link I provided for post 78. That address contains "https://www." followed by "debatepolitics.com/general-political-discussion/328297-white-house-counsel-has-spent-30-hours-sharing-detailed-accounts-mueller-report-3.html#post1068923303". My reading of that address is as follows:
Given the above, would one of the mods or SysAdms please explain what, if anything is causing Fletch to, upon clicking the hyperlink I provided, being taken to a page that has "nothing there?"

My reading of that address is as follows:
- 328297 --> Unique thread identifier
- 1068923303 --> Unique portion of a post identifier
- debatepolitics.com/ --> Unique domain ("town") identifier
- general-political-discussion/ --> Unique name or identifier of a "neighborhood" within the domain ("town")
- white-house-counsel-has-spent-30-hours-sharing-detailed-accounts-mueller-report-3 --> "plain language" thread name ("street name" -- no uniqueness constraint)

Blue:How droll of you to attempt to shift to me a burden of proof regarding a conjecture you put forth (see red text -- it's what I commented on). The burden of proof is on you to show your conjecture's soundness/cogency, not on me to show the conjecture holds no water.
And what was my 'conjecture?'
Pink:
"Effin' A!" You made it! Do you not the difference between a positive assertion and an conjecture?
Click the hyperlink shown above, read the red text in the quoted passage you see at the link destination. That's your conjecture.
Your hyperlink takes me to page 3. There is nothing there.
The relevant post, post 78, is on page 3 for me too.
My DP settings display 30 posts per page. The thread, as of your comment above, has 90 posts.
