Sorry to mislead you, it wasn't LWN's fault.

The web proxy at work occasionally prompts for HTTP authentication erroneously, and I can't escape/hit back to my text. It takes me to a 403, and my comment is gone.

Happens on Reddit and Slashdot, too. Thanks for the concern!

You could try using https (https://lwn.net/). That way, you can be sure the proxy will not interfer, unless the proxy does a MITM attack on the SSL/TLS connection. If it does MITM, you have bigger problems (check the certificate to be sure; for me, it is showing as being from GeoTrust).
