This makes the most sense to me, so far.
I do, however, think the current node_id
system works very cleanly most of the time. There are a few
situations (like right after submitting a post) where it is
more difficult to find the node id, but [id://123456]
is the only internal linking method I use, anymore. It is
clean, almost always easy (just look in the location bar,
or mouse-over a link to get the lastnode_id) and precise.
There are certain situations where the id:// method does
actually convert to the full
<nobr><a href=index.pl?node_id=12345></nobr>,
so I imagine c-era's suggestion would be easiest to
implement.
I think I would encourage our fearless leader to
address this issue, because the
"add-my-name-to-the-title-just-to-make-it-unique" thing only
serves to clutter, not clarify. kudra first posted her
titling method to encourage us to make titles more
informative. How much does it help you to read in Newest
Nodes <nobr>"(Russ) Re: Threading"?</nobr>
If the site could address the underlying problem causing us
to do this, I think we will all be well-served.
