Would anyone like to join me in asking MNHQ for ............

A facility where it would be possible to search 2 posters names to see what threads they've both posted on and therefore communicated on before?

An example:

I'm on a thread and Valpollicella comes on and it leads me to think "Hmmm, I've spoke to her before - what was that about?". It would then be possible to search and see where you've connected before, and your memory would be prompted - "Oh, yeah she's the one that really like Bombay Mix(or whatever) - I remember now!"

I don't think I'm explaining this very well, but there's loads of times someone name sets of a little "ping" in my head and I'd like to revisit previous conversations.

Does anybody feel the same as me, or is it a little bit stalker-y?

It would only throw up threads that you'd both posted on though, surely? Which could be hundreds.

yes that's quite a good idea

that way you might think, i wonder what happened on that thread... but all you can remmeber was that a certain other poster was on it- you'd be able to find it

Can't you just search for both names on the advanced search function?

maryz - I was excessively kidding, you understand!! There are enough methods of enquiry without making them more sophisticated.

Countess I asked for that before and was ignored!

Would be nice to have a function as op suggested
