Ampersand in title posting bug - a different one.

I tried to make this my title for a post of mine..

Math: unless you are a Jew who has friends or family in Israel, you have a middle eastern studies PhD, & you agree that Israel can do no wrong - your opinions are entirely invalid. Checkmate, commies.

I tried to post it a few times and it hung each time. Finally I realized the obvious. Problem was the ampersand. My title was under the limit but because of the & bug - my post went over the limit so it hung.
