what I say in post 1. and especially what I said in response to
clarification of my position to Kenny Tilton in post 11. What I am
saying does not revolve around the size of Lisp and nor do their
comments either.
Who is numbering the posts for you? Do the numbers stay the
same as more posts arrive? Why do you expect that other
people will associate particular posts with these numbers?
Mark may be reading online though Google, etc. There are some desktop
news clients that provide numbering, but I am not aware of any that
are stable unless the entire thread is saved.
Re: Google - it's numbering is stable wrt it's own message archive.
However, I have seen in busy groups that when several replies have
close timestamps, my provider sometimes sees them in a different order
than Google does.
Kent Pitman complained a while back about messages that don't stand
alone (about one of my posts, in fact). Quoting enough context for a
message to stand alone leads quickly to very long messages, but I
basically agree with him that excessive abbreviation and vague
references to other messages don't cut it.
