Congratulations on tackling the problem of following the discussion in flat mode.
As for numbers, if you guys are happy with them then you're all arithmetical geniuses in my book. I can't see how using a four, five, six digit post number is easier to follow than the name of the person they are replying to, ala Remarq.com. The number will be more exact but I reckon that's all it's got going for it.

On the positive side, your users will spend more time on your site trying to figure out which number is a reply to which number. You folks must have been buying those memory tapes from your late night shopping channels. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
It's great to have something in there though and a good spot for it too.
Darren.
