This makes the most sense to me, so far.
<p>
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.
<p>
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.
<p>
I think I would encourage [vroom|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 <b><nobr>"(Russ) Re: Threading"?</nobr></b>
<p>
If the site could address the underlying problem causing us
to do this, I think we will all be well-served.
