[support] Fwd: "Read more" edit

[Neil Coghlan]

If you are using Locale, then you can just create a custom english 
language and change the strings in there. I hadn't realised you were 
using Locale as using it just for a few string changes is overkill, but 
if you're using it on a multi-language site anyway, you might as well do 
the "read more" thing in there.
