In a thread of 200+ posts, people will often reply merely with a subject line that reads "see post #146" or whatever.
Two things about this:
1. My phone doesn't show the post numbers in a nested format, so there's no way for me to "see post #146"
2. If you're going to the trouble of telling someone to "see post #146," then why the hell don't you include a direct link to post #146 in the body of your message?

(63,262 posts)Even on a desktop, it can be a pain to hunt for a particular reply when told to do so, especially when that reply is basically "I agree completely."
Sure, I can simply CTRL-F to find it, but unless the destination post is really compelling as it stands, then it's either not worth citing or would be worth reposting in its entirety.
