Numbered posts?

Was thinking the other night how useful it would be if we could have all the posts numbered 1, 2, 3...

Then you could refer back to someone's comment/argument/whatever more easily if you wanted to comment on it specifically, couldn't you? Might save a bit on misunderstandings...

Does that make sense or am I just being the World's Dullest And Most Anal Woman today?

Bit organised for this lot!?

If you feel dull and anal...i'm sorry...but it makes perfect sense to me Moomina...

....just as long as we get italics

Teehee thanks Bunglie - was afraid I had won title of most boringestest thread today

But it's easier to have numbers, DG, I reckon?

It'd also help when you are reading back through a long thread and have to break off halfway through to do something like changing a nappy, feeding a baby or talking to DH (OK, I made the last one up...!)

I'd like this too.

And italics!

Bunglie · 25/10/2004 11:40

Did someone mention Italics?

What a good idea Italics would be.

Did I mention that I would like Italics and a spellchecker {grin}

Oh and yep...numbering the posts would be easier than putting date, time etc... so I vote for that too

Just as long as we get Italics

Do you think I am over-doing it or do you think they get the message??

Bunglie · 25/10/2004 11:43

Oh tech you are so wonderful...(Bunglie goes into grovelling mode)...

ODE TO TECH..

If Tech gave me Italics,
I would not need to write
Things in capital letters
To make them stand out bright!

I never said I was a poet...back to day job!
