Great idea Paul! – sherpamelissa Mar 20 2011 at 20:24

Maybe you could do the underlined-word thing in lieu of hyperlinks, for better readability? Also, great idea. – Kamal Mar 20 2011 at 23:27
Well, I did the full links because they have the titles already built into them, so people can see right away where they lead. I know that Safari tells you down below where the link is going to tell you but I didn't think every browser had this. Ideally we would have the names of the threads written out in plain English, but also underlined as a link. But even if I were willing to invest the time to do them all like that I didn't want to set a precedent, putting pressure on others. Thoughts? – Paul Mar 20 2011 at 23:42
