**43** I can see this working. Wasn’t there a thread where people voluntarily numbered their posts? Only instead of numbers they used letters, and they used a revolving numbering scheme.

1. As the OP of this thread, I’d like to compain most bitterly that not only has my OP not been answered, the thread has been hijacked to Pluto. ---

1. The OP of a thread is always numbered “1”, contrary to what some might believe. ---
