The number listing may not be the most elegant but it is the most server friendly. The reason being is we already have the Post number that this post is actually in reply to so it's just a matter of printing it out. To list the name of the person you are replying to we would have to do another database call to find out what the username is that is associated with the post you are replying to. And remember, we try to avoid extra database calls whenever possible;).
