In order to reclaim some self-esteem after my confession of limited computer skills over in [Tracking Posts 1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=621008#post621008) I want to ask a reasonable technical question. I just noticed that you can link to individual posts. That link should take you directly to my post in the other thread. My question is about finding the post # so I can link directly to relevent posts. I think this would be handy.

So, how do I go about finding out a post’s ID#?
