On touch, a tap on a post opens its thread

On a phone the only way into a post's thread was a small Expand button (and now an entry in More), while a tap on the
post pinned it to a globe that is usually hidden there, outlining the card. Where the pointer can't hover, a tap on a
post that isn't on its links, controls or menus and doesn't end a text selection opens its thread through the card's
own thread link (main.js, data-thread on the card); cards are pinned to the globe with a mouse only. The globe's corner
stats have 12px text on touch. Phone flow: a tap in a post's margin opens its thread and pins nothing.
