I remember having to disable shortcodes for Wordpress from the core file by commenting it out because it was screwing up the displaying of huge posts...what a useful feature, I'd suppose :\

Wow. really good article. Just when I thought I was getting pretty proficient with WordPress I learn something new that is awesome. I'll have to implement that in some of my blogs.
