News comments are often started in the title and then continued in the post body, as a sort of one-two whammy. This is nice, but since the comment title doesn't show up in the regular forums, it breaks most of the posts or makes them even more pointless, and makes the integration of news stories and comment threads into the forums rather ridiculous.
It also results in a bunch of otherwise blank posts reading "your comment".

We'd been wondering what caused the "your comment" glitch. Dang, this shoots down the more interesting theories. We must not be a safe drop for embedded messages to secret agents.

It took me ages to figure it out, but looking at a "search more posts by this user" page — which shows the titles — suddenly made it clear.

I was about to report a user saying "your comment" over and over as an unimaginative spammer.

I'd originally figured it for an in-joke amongst the news regulars. They probably your-comment each other ever since the Pie-throw Conspiracy went down, and earn kudos for being first in each thread with a your-comment.
BTW, I'm told this is fixed. The title entry field has been removed from news pages. Existing post titles still display on the news side. I'll presently fix this in the database, moving titles into main comment text. So existing comments will appear in the forums too.

By "proper people" do you mean "drone pilots" by chance?
