Also, I've found an error in the QI thread for '4' - it was 2nd November 1982 that Channel 4 was launched, (not 1983!).

Good to see a Cabin Pressure quote!

This is turning into the most hysterically funny game I've taken part in for a long time. And the great thing is that we're 19 ahead of QI now, and they've got a lot more players, and they're not putting in all these contrived links between the posts...

Is it my imagination, or did the chain get broken between 1574 and 1575?

Absolutely not - the link was "Jade". Funnily enough, I missed it on first reading as well.

No reason for you to feel jaded.
