A question about site mechanics: I can no longer find EYs "My April Fools' Day Confession" post in Main. It is just not listed there neither by rating nor by time. I can navigate toward it from comments or bookmarks.

Checking this a bit I find that this is only filtered if I'm logged in. And I remember that something like this happened some weeks ago with another post which was moved between Main and Discussion.

Is this a bug or is this some kind of filtering feature I don't get?

Given what EY wrote,maybe he doesn't want that to many people read what he wrote outside of the April Fool context for fear of people taking the writing seriously.

I'm writing this on April 1st because it's the day when nobody in this world will take it seriously, no matter how much about me it explains.

Maybe. But shouldn't it be the other way around: Only LWers get to see the post, but not the general public? I mean I can only see the post if I'm not logged in.

Just to make it clear I mean this LW post: http://lesswrong.com/lw/jzr/my_april_fools_day_confession/

For me it appears in neither in the discussion or main list whether I"m logged in or locked out.
