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

stalkery

Good idea :o

LoopyLoops · 12/11/2010 20:20

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

ChristmasTrulyReigns · 12/11/2010 21:09

Naah, just tried it with you and me LoopyLoops and didn't work. Sad

Get a spreadsheet, people. Really. Ask Bof/P

c0rns1lk · 12/11/2010 21:26

No I don'tlike that idea

ChristmasTrulyReigns · 12/11/2010 22:02

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

suspect it would be terribly tedious really. Am sat up in bed with laptop on lap. Yawn Grin.

Countess I asked for that before and was ignored!

Would be nice to have a function as op suggested
